Broadcasting and Journalism

BA (Hons) Broadcasting, Journalism and Media Communications

BA (Hons) Broadcasting, Journalism and Screen Studies

It’s easy to see why there is a pull towards careers in TV, radio, or print and online media. All media is rapidly evolving and invariably no two days are the same. Our Broadcasting and Journalism courses will prepare you for a rewarding life in the media.

We’ll show you how to source and write news reports and features for radio, TV, newspapers, magazines and websites. There’s a strong focus on new media, so producing content videos and audio material for the web are key parts of the course. By the end of your studies you’re sure to have great communication skills too.

If you want to work as a multimedia press journalist, our one year Certificate of Higher Education in Journalism, accredited by the industry body the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ), might be just what you’re looking for.

Thanks to a partnership with NWN Media Ltd., it comes with the opportunity to spend two days every week on a leading newspaper title in North Wales or Chester.
