Applicants should hold an upper second class honours degree or the equivalent from an internationally recognised institution. Consideration may also be given to mature applicants with substantial work experience in journalism.

Students whose first language is not English are advised to apply for the International Journalism MA, which is designed specifically for students from outside the UK.

Pre-requisites
Applicants must demonstrate a knowledge of news and current affairs. We expect a high standard of general knowledge relating to politics, international news, sport and entertainment.

As well as new graduates, we also welcome applications from mature applicants with substantial work experience in journalism or those with experience of coding who want to make the transition into journalism roles.

This course requires the equivalent of an IELTS academic test with an overall score of 7.0 with no less than 7.0 in the writing subtest and no less than 6.5 in any other subtest.
