This course gives you the knowledge, skills and networks to pursue an exciting career in the multimedia world of journalism.
Taught by staff with academic expertise and professional experience in journalism, you’ll receive training in TV, radio and digital production, alongside theoretical study. You’ll learn how to spot and investigate a story, then write, produce, record and edit your own stories in our industry-standard studios, editing rooms and media suites.
You’ll explore ethical issues, the role of journalism in society and choose modules on topics ranging from documentary to citizen media.
You’ll complete a work placement to gain experience and put your skills into practice. You can also get involved in Leeds University Union’s (LUU) award-winning student media societies.
You can transfer to our BA Journalism and Media degree in later years, allowing you to study journalism into the broader context of media and communication and choose from a wider range of options.
