Summary
Develop your professional skills as a journalist with our unique Global Financial Journalism MA programme. You will gain a global outlook on business, finance and the economy and will learn directly from seasoned industry figures working for elite international news organisations. You will develop skills as a multimedia journalist by telling stories about business, finance and the economy.
While many traditional roles in newsrooms are disappearing, financial journalism is growing and our graduates are in high demand. We will give you the professional skills and knowledge needed to work in fast-paced multimedia newsrooms around the world.
Studying the financial sector in London will give you a unique insight into global business, while funded study trips will help you get to grips with global economics and stock markets such as the Hang Seng Index and Wall Street. Most students don’t have any background in finance but are interested in working as financial journalists. The programme also attracts working journalists who want to specialise in financial journalism, and graduates with a background in the financial sector who want to work as journalists. We welcome applications from UK/EU graduates and non-EU graduates with good English skills.
The MA in Financial Journalism is unique in its international reach and includes the chance for overseas travel. The course teaches the skills needed for financial journalism. Supported by the Marjorie Deane Foundation the course aims to develop the professional skills and knowledge needed to work in a multimedia environment.
Through the generous support of the Marjorie Deane Foundation for Financial Journalism, the MA Financial Journalism degree offers full tuition scholarship opportunities through the generosity of the Marjorie Deane Financial Journalism Foundation for both UK/EU students and overseas students from developing countries.
