Course Overview

This degree is for writers and audiovisual content creators who want the freedom to develop a broad skillset ready for a career as a multi-faceted professional, learning the craft from lecturers with real-world industry experience.

You’ll stretch your analytical skills by researching national and international publications and multimedia to better understand the social, economic and cultural contexts and thread this learning into your work as an ethical and enterprising practitioner.  

You will:

  • Develop the craft and critical skills to make you an adaptable multimedia writer, reporter and digital creative – with a professional portfolio to prove it 

  • Learn the professional, craft and business skills to set you up for career success, whether as a freelancer, employee or founder of your own company  

  • Please take part in challenging projects working on live briefs from our partners, and have the opportunity to take up work placements in media or publishing. 

  • Have access to well-equipped studios and creative spaces to give you hands-on production skills
