Our course explores in both theoretical and practical terms current issues in journalism in the context of the digital revolution and media convergence.

• It combines solid foundations of journalism practice with the latest developments in multimedia techniques, digital journalism and social media.
• It puts you through the fast-paced newsroom environment experience and offers opportunities to get engaged in specialisms such as foreign affairs correspondent, health and science reporter, business and finance writer or data journalist.
