Hands-on experience

During the programme, you'll learn how to write news and features, how to use social media like a pro, and be introduced to broadcasting via practice-based learning in radio and television in state-of-the-art digital studio facilities with working professional journalists. The programme is designed to give graduates a wide range of career options in the media, not just traditional newspaper roles - rather in wider communications, social media, digital communications and further afield.
