Overview

You don’t need any prior study of journalism or media, just a fierce curiosity and a determination to learn. We’ll teach you the transferrable skills you’ll need to start a career in news, social media or communications. University of East Anglia's lecturers in Broadcast and Digital Journalism have decades of experience as journalism professionals, working for major broadcasters such as the BBC, and they’ll use that experience to get you industry ready. We're not just a normal university course – we're a learning community based in Norwich city centre at Broadcast House.

From the very first week you’ll be out in the city reporting, speaking to people and hearing their stories. You’ll complete practical projects, creating your own podcast and exploring how to find stories through data and investigative journalism – preparing you for the modern newsroom. You’ll practice radio and TV reporting by recording and editing your own interviews and turning these into broadcast news stories. You’ll also study UK media law and regulation - as required by British employers - and you’ll visit the courts and local councils and produce news stories based on what you’ve seen.
