... United Kingdom
... University of Salford

Course Overview

Broadcast Journalism plays a vital role in society. It keeps us informed of what’s happening in the world around us, updates us on the things we really need to know, and does so in a way that’s accessible for everybody. If you’re eager to investigate and report on the latest events and issues, then our broadcast journalism degree is the right choice for you.

In today’s digital age, internet joins TV and radio as one of the key platforms through which news is shared. To reflect cutting-edge developments in broadcast journalism, this course covers both traditional and new media to prepare you for the reality of working as a professional broadcast journalist.

What’s more, this broadcast journalism course is accredited by the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC), meaning you’ll be gaining a first-class understanding of the field from leading experts. And we’re the only university with a campus at MediaCity so you’ll study right next to the BBC and ITV.

You’ll learn how to investigate, record, edit and produce news for online, radio and television, with the option to specialise in your preferred areas in your second and third years. You’ll also undertake placements at news organisations, participate in regular newsdays and be encouraged to gain experience as part of Salford’s student-led broadcast, Quays News, which is supported by guest editors from the BBC and ITV.

You will:

  • Study for a BJTC-accredited course and learn from leading broadcast journalists
