Course Overview

We opened The Workshop, with its state-of-the-art TV and radio studios, on the BBC South West campus in 2019. This marks an exciting new era for Marjon and our students to get hands-on guidance and learn skills from experienced journalists and editors.

Our third years are paired with a BBC mentor. One module is taught by BBC journalists, producers, and digital filmmakers. You will have the chance to pitch story ideas to commissioning, online, news, and current affairs editors and will get their advice on your work.

You'll also have access to our on-campus 24/7 radio station and online TV news channel. We can also stream and record podcasts, cover live events, and host and broadcast live-lounge music gigs, plays, and performances. You'll also learn to write scripts for TV and radio, news bulletins, news cues for TV, and how to structure radio and TV programs. We’ll teach you how to self-shoot for TV, record great audio, generate story ideas, and produce, direct and edit your own shows.
