Master of Arts - Journalism (Audio, Docs and Podcast) (P50J12)

Offered in partnership with the BBC, UWE's MA Journalism (Audio, Docs and Podcast) is for graduates with a passion for radio, and an interest in journalism and audio documentary making.

Working with award-winning audio producers, students will learn to develop their own radio documentaries and podcasts, as they build experience of audio collection techniques, sound and recording, working in a studio and using digital editing software.

Based at the arts-focused Bower Ashton studios, students will be immersed in audio and radio for the digital age, putting their skills into practice, and delving into the cultural industry and its supply chain.

There's a strong emphasis on developing students' technical expertise, alongside the skills needed to compete as a producer, such as commissioning, pitching and getting their documentaries to air. Students will also gain useful online skills to develop their own websites and podcasts.

They will build experience on placements in some of Bristol's most innovative cultural organizations, pitch their work to BBC Audio editors based in Bristol and work on their own projects with mentoring from industry.
