Spread the news

Journalism is changing fast. This modern, practice-driven broadcast journalism degree prepares you to create trustworthy, engaging stories across broadcast, digital and emerging media - with the industry skills today’s newsrooms demand.

Why study this degree?

  1. Digital, broadcast and social storytelling are integrated throughout the curriculum - not treated as an add-on.
  2. Access tools, systems and editorial processes found in professional broadcast environments - including live production workflows, newsroom planning, verification techniques and editorial decision-making
  3. Teaching stuff are active industry professionals with experience at BBC, Sky News, and major broadcasters
  4. Build your professional profile through real-world projects, placements, and live broadcasts
  5. Learn the skills modern journalism demands - from mobile reporting and AI literacy to verification and audience-first storytelling across every platform.

From your first week on this journalism degree, you’ll work in environments that mirror the pace and pressure of contemporary journalism. Our studios, galleries and digital production spaces will become your newsroom. You’ll learn how to pitch stories, verify information, build rundowns, produce live segments and collaborate under real editorial deadlines. 

Across three years, you’ll develop a deep understanding of how stories move from idea to broadcast, from field to feed, and from raw information to public impact. You’ll learn to work across platforms - adapting your storytelling for television, radio, online, social and emerging formats - and build a portfolio that demonstrates your ability to operate in a modern, multimedia environment.
