Broadcast Journalism (with Foundation Year) BA(hons) in University of West of England

Broadcast journalists are the voice of news and current affairs. They identify and research news stories before presenting them for radio, TV, social media and the web.

It's a varied, dynamic role which can see you interviewing one minute and editing film footage the next. If you're interested in reporting, and enjoy the cut and thrust of a creative and fast-paced environment, broadcast journalism could be for you.

As a student of BA(Hons) Broadcast Journalism, you'll quickly become familiar with the latest technologies through our exceptional facilities and resources. Our media studios incorporate a newsroom, TV and radio studios and editing suites, all built to the same standard you'd see in a professional studio.

Post-production workshops include facilities for editing and mixing, enabling you to build confidence working behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera.

Our strong industry links with Bristol's cultural scene mean you'll benefit from regular guest lectures and take on work placements at companies like the BBC, The Post, Bristol 24/7 and other media outlets.

Working individually and as part of a team, you'll attend meetings, report from court and cover events, delivering work to live briefs and deadlines.

Develop your reporting and production skills across print, screen, audio and internet platforms, devising imaginative ways to engage diverse audiences.

Take part in simulation news days, hear from industry experts in guest lectures, and showcase your work to talent scouts and potential employers at our Creative Industries Degree Show. There are also opportunities for paid internships with the likes of South West News and the BBC.

This course is based at Bower Ashton Studios. It's part of our City Campus: a powerhouse of inspiration and collaboration that spans across Bristol, and incorporates renowned contemporary arts centres Spike Island, Arnolfini and Watershed.

Focusing on the areas that most interest you, through your modules and assessments, you'll graduate in a confident position for your career.
