Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism with a Placement Year (Hons) University of East Anglia

Overview

At University of East Anglia you’re not just one of the crowd – we offer small group learning so you can develop the skills you need to find, research and create stories for radio, TV and online. We’re BJTC accredited and we also offer excellent learning support to guide you through the process of creating your own journalism, not just studying the theory.  Our lecturers have decades of experience as journalism professionals, working for major broadcasters such as the BBC, and they’ll use that experience to get you industry ready. We're not just a normal university course – we're a learning community based in Norwich city centre at “Broadcast House”. 

We're extremely proud of our Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism with a Placement Year (Hons) graduates who have gone on to work at BBC, ITV, Bauer Media, Newsquest and many more.  Lots of our students even start work as freelance journalists while still on the course, which is another great reason to choose UEA Journalism.
