Digital Media and Magazine Publishing (with Professional Practice Year)
Course Summary
Are you a budding journalist, or keen to get into the publishing business? Our new BA/BSc (Hons) Digital Media & Magazine Publishing degree at UCA Epsom is a unique course that combines the two.
This course covers the practical and technical skills involved in digital and print-based journalism, with a core focus on editing, production and a professional understanding of the business of publishing.
You will gain the skills to manage the publishing process from idea generation to publication. You'll employ a range of different writing and visual skills, learn to pitch and commission stories, and gain hands-on experience in producing a publication across print and digital media formats. Along the way, you'll be taught by an experienced team of journalists and editors from the publishing world of Music, Fashion and Lifestyle media.
Working alongside students on a range of fashion, music and business courses, you'll have a deep understanding of the business of digital media, and the role of the journalist within it. You'll gain important skills in networking, self-promotion, interviewing and communication with a variety of people.
You’ll develop skills through individual and collaborative work in both studio and industry environments, including a work placement and live project briefs, and learning from teaching staff with a wealth of knowledge and connections. In your third year, you'll leap right into the workplace on your Professional Practice Year, gaining vital insight and experience to bring back to UCA for your final year of study.
Your studies will culminate in the production of a comprehensively researched independent print publication with a partner website or digital platform.
By graduation, you’ll be fully equipped to jump into the publishing industry, with the skills, knowledge, confidence and portfolio of varied work that you need to take you onwards.
