Why Choose Our HNC in Journalism?

The Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate in Journalism offers students one general pathway to support progression to relevant occupational areas or degree-level study. This pathway allows students to complete a qualification without committing to a particular professional specialism, offering additional flexibility to students.

Our Blended Learning delivery will see a third of the course delivered remotely. These sessions, delivered on Wednesdays, will be a mixture of live online delivery, and guided learning tasks from the tutors. The remainder of the course will be delivered face-to-face at the City of Oxford College or Farnham on Thursdays and Fridays.

The course develops students’ underpinning knowledge of the subject and enables students to enter employment with the qualities necessary for job roles requiring personal responsibility. It provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, practical and transferable skills, and other attributes.

On successful completion, students will have developed a sound understanding of the principles in their field of study and will have learned to apply them more widely. They will have learned to evaluate the appropriateness of different problem-solving approaches. They will be able to perform effectively in their chosen field and will have the qualities necessary for employment in situations that require the exercise of personal responsibility and decision-making.
