Course summary
This course gives you the knowledge, skills and networks to pursue an exciting career in the multimedia world of journalism. Taught by staff with academic expertise and professional experience in journalism, you’ll receive training in TV, radio and digital production, alongside theoretical study. You’ll learn how to spot and investigate a story, then write, produce and edit your own stories in our industry-standard studios, editing rooms and media suites.
