Overview

About your course A highly practical programme, the BA (Hons) Journalism is taught using industry-standard facilities so you gain the hands-on experience you will need in your day-to-day work as a journalist. From the first year onwards, you will learn to use our in-house facilities including edit suites, newsrooms and radio studios supported by specialist technicians and expert tutors. Alongside hands-on training you will learn the basics of media law and how public bodies work, as well as considering the role of journalism in today’s world. We’ll also look at the challenges and opportunities AI brings to the industry. Digital journalism is embedded into our course and you will learn to write and produce content for online platforms, podcasts and social media. You will also develop skills in analysis and interpretation, initiative and research, which are vital in any career, not just journalism. Whether you want to be a feature writer or photojournalist, in your third year you can specialise in an area related to your future career aspirations. Our strong links with local news publishers, television companies and radio stations mean that there will be opportunities for invaluable work experience during the course, and you will be encouraged to get involved with various student media outlets in Liverpool, including our own website. If you would like to see some of the work published by our students, take a look Mersey News Live and Mersey Sports Live. You can also check out the student radio station, Moore Student Radio, which you can sign up to be part of during your time with us. Some of our student radio society members recently interviewed Miley Cyrus during Radio One Big Weekend in Liverpool.
