Master of Arts in Journalism with Professional Placement
Program Overview
Accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) for over a decade, our course will equip you for a career in journalism by offering the industry's most sought-after qualification alongside your postgraduate diploma or masters degree. The only London university to offer an NCTJ diploma alongside a news journalism MA, Kingston combines professional training and academic study with the skills you will need to succeed in this intensely competitive industry.
In the last reaccreditation report from the NCTJ, it was noted that "this course... plays a valuable role in producing industry-ready early career journalists". We offer Broadcast Journalism, Journalism for a Digital Audience, Public Affairs, Editing Skills and Shorthand as elective options alongside the NCTJ core modules.
This course offers professional skills such as news and feature writing, the latest digital and social media techniques, and media law.
You will be taught by practising journalists and have access to a newsroom with industry-standard software. Working for a live news website, the Kingston Courier, you will produce and edit multimedia content on everything from news to sports. You will also design and produce a newspaper supplement.
Alongside your core modules, you can choose from a range of specialisms. These could include Sports Journalism, Foreign Correspondence, Arts and Culture, Social Affairs, Fashion Journalism, Visual Journalism or Broadcast, where you will cover everything from making TV and radio packages to podcasts.
