If you want to make a difference, hold power to account, and find out what’s really going on in the world, this is the course for you.
On this practical MA Broadcast and Digitial Journalism International degree, you’ll create news stories in the beautiful city of Norwich and examine the media’s relationship with society. We expect you to be fascinated by the world around you, be a regular consumer of news, and have excellent communication skills with a high level of spoken and written English.
On this Master’s course you’ll be out in the city reporting on news from the very first week of your studies, speaking to people and hearing their stories. You’ll consider the practice of ethical journalism, and complete practical projects; creating your own podcast and learning how to find stories through data and investigative journalism – preparing you for the modern newsroom.
You’ll practice radio and TV reporting by recording and editing your own interviews and turning these into broadcast news stories. Some of your modules will be taught on campus, but much of your teaching will take place at our dedicated media centre in the heart of Norwich. Broadcast House is home to a radio studio, a TV studio, and a podcast studio and a newsroom with Adobe Audition, Premier Pro and a modern TV gallery.
