Course description Our alumni are highly successful journalists who excel at all forms of multi-platform digital storytelling, including TV, radio, podcast, web and social media content.
Journalistic reporting and storytelling requires expertise in creating and publishing multi-platform content, alongside a solid grasp of traditional skills and knowledge - take this degree and you’ll develop both.
You will harness your knowledge in our newsrooms and out in the city during our production news days. You'll also work with a team to publish your content on Sheffield Wire – a real, public-facing news website with its own social media channels.
You'll apply your learning in a huge variety of ways: news writing, web publishing, shorthand, social media management, audio, podcasts, short-form and long-form video production and presentation skills alongside media law and ethics - all in the process of hunting down and creating and producing stories to meet real-time deadlines with your team.
As well as the core reporting skills required by employers, you’ll also be exposed to innovative journalism techniques, including ethical and appropriate use of AI, which will put you a step ahead when it comes to landing your first job.
The course is accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and is renowned within the industry as one of the best in the UK. Our course provides you with optionality within this NCTJ accreditation. We'll give you access to international, national and regional news providers across a myriad of platforms, including news, features and broadcast, during both teaching sessions and through exciting work placements.
