Program Overview

Accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) for over a decade, this Journalism PgDip/MA course will equip you for a career in journalism by offering the industry's most sought-after qualification alongside your PgDip or masters degree. It combines professional training and academic study with the skills you will need to succeed in this intensely competitive industry.

As well as being the only London university to offer an NCTJ diploma alongside a news journalism MA, Kingston University was ranked No.1 in London for Journalism and Publishing in the Guardian University Guide 2020.

In the last reaccreditation report from the NCTJ, it was noted that "this course... plays a valuable role in producing industry-ready early career journalists".

All the modules are taught by practising journalists with a range of experience and contacts. As well as teaching you practical skills, the course will engage you in discussion and debate about the state and future of the industry, and the legal, political and ethical context in which journalists operate.

Alongside your core modules, you can choose from a range of specialisms, including Sports Journalism, Data Journalism, Foreign Correspondence, Feature-writing, Fashion Journalism, Creative Non-fiction, Visual Journalism and Broadcast Journalism, where you will cover everything from making TV and radio packages to voice training.
