Careers

Our Journalism MA graduates are highly sought after by some of the best-known news organisations in the UK and beyond.

More and more newsrooms have data and development teams and this course has been developed to meet this need. Organizations including the BBC, The Guardian, The Times (London) and The Financial Times are using data-driven journalism skills to find stories and tell them in an engaging way.

This course builds on our success with including data journalism skills within the MA interactive Journalism, but with a deeper focus on some of the technical aspects of the data journalist’s role.

Students from both courses can go on to be data journalists or use these skills to move into other specialisms of Journalism.
