Course Overview

Our accredited MA Broadcast Journalism course will equip you with the necessary skills, knowledge, understanding, and other attributes expected of professional broadcast journalists at the start of their careers. The course is accredited by the Broadcast Journalism Training Council, which represents the broadcast industry including the BBC, ITN, Channel 4, and Global Radio. From the outset you will develop expertise in news writing, interviewing, presenting, editing, and online content, as well as deepening your awareness of the legal, moral, and regulatory issues that confront working journalists. You will be encouraged to engage critically with, and make informed judgments on, current professional practices and ethical issues. You will apply specialized techniques and also, at the Masters's level, plan and carry out a significant project of original research, culminating in a documentary or broadcast portfolio. Recent documentaries have investigated cryptocurrency, media representation and women politicians, African migrants now living in Scotland and the impact social media is having on the world of science.

General Eligibility

You will require a University degree in any discipline or an equivalent qualification. Mature applicants with other qualifications and experience within the broadcast industry may be considered at the discretion of the Course Leader.

Applicants will also be expected to take a writing and voice test, as well as an interview.

Overseas students must also meet UWS English language requirements.
