**About the course**
The best thing about Journalism at Sussex is what we teach. Not only do we equip you with the skills to produce high quality journalism content across digital, print, audio and video, we also push the boundaries of what journalism is, to best serve the challenges of our ever-changing global community.
Our teachers are experienced professional journalists and leading researchers. They will encourage you to think innovatively and challenge professional norms and practices, to prepare you for a career in the challenging and transforming field of journalism.
You will have 24/7 access to specialist facilities such as a professional-standard news room, edit suites and a sound-proofed studio. You’ll also work in our state-of-the-art TV news studio and will complete an internship with a media organisation.
**About Sussex**
Sussex graduates change the world. Our students become the leaders of the future, making discoveries, improving lives and changing things for the better.
Study with us to join a welcoming and inspiring community of staff and students from more than 140 countries.
**Location**
We shape the world from a fantastic campus on the UK’s beautiful south coast.
We are the only UK university surrounded by a national park, so you can step off campus to explore the hills and woodlands of the South Downs. The vibrant, colourful and creative seaside city of Brighton & Hove is just nine minutes away.
With Brighton voted the happiest city in England for students, (Student Living Survey, Sodexo, 2018) there can be few better places to study.
