Master of Science - Journalism

Whether one is starting their career in journalism or an experienced reporter looking to get to grips with a changing industry, it presents an opportunity to sharpen the skills now demanded by employers. The individual will develop their understanding of the very latest communication tools and technology while engaging with social media, search engine optimization, crowd sourcing, and user-generated content. Focus will also be placed on the traditional media platforms of newspapers, television, and radio.

This particular journalism course in England was the first to be taught from within a business school, providing students with access to their extensive contacts in industry. Students will be able to take advantage of these links as they report on new developments, expanding companies, and high-profile business leaders in a thriving city. Additionally, students will benefit from contacts with an array of media organizations offering invaluable work placements and employment opportunities. Previous students have enjoyed work experience with BBC News night, Reuters, and The Independent.
