All the lecturers who teach across our Journalism courses have been journalists themselves.
This means you will be being taught by industry trailblazers, who make sure they are up-to-date with changes.
Between us, we’ve done every job in a newsroom and we make sure our students can be employable, multi-platform operators when they graduate.
We listen to student feedback and take on board your comments.
In 2015, our BA (Hons) Journalism course got 100% satisfaction in the National Student Survey.
And our courses always score highly in the DLHE (Destination of Leavers from HE) survey as so many of our students are employed within 6 months of graduation.
