Course summary

Overview Truth-seekers and storytellers apply here. In a world where it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s not, we’ll teach you how to find out what’s really going on, and how to generate news stories that can make a difference. You’ll create your own online news, podcast and digital videos – the best are published on our UEAJornalism website. You’ll practice live broadcasting and go to court to report on real criminal cases. You’ll learn inclusive journalism too, working with diverse communities to help them tell their stories. Importantly, you’ll also study UK media law so you can practice professional journalism. On BA Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism with a Placement Year, you’ll normally spend 9-12 months of your third year in a placement, gaining invaluable working experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice. At UEA you’re not just one of the crowd – we offer small group learning so you can develop the skills you need to find, research and create stories for radio, TV and online. We’re BJTC accredited and we also offer excellent learning support to guide you through the process of creating your own journalism, not just studying the theory. Our lecturers have decades of experience as journalism professionals, working for major broadcasters such as the BBC, and they’ll use that experience to get you industry ready. We're not just a normal university course – we're a learning community based in Norwich city centre at “Broadcast House”. We're extremely proud of our Journalism graduates who have gone on to work at BBC, ITV, Bauer Media, Newsquest and many more. Lots of our students even start work as freelance journalists while still on the course, which is another great reason to choose UEA Journalism. Disclaimer Course details are subject to change.
