**Why Journalism?**Our dual-accredited Journalism degree allows you to explore all aspects of multimedia journalism, from writing and presenting, shooting and editing video, to creating audio output such as podcasts. You’ll learn fundamental principles of journalism practice as well as media law and ethics, while gaining essential practical skills and building a professional portfolio of work. With opportunities for work experience on placements with key news outlets such as ‘The Times’, BBC Breakfast and Sky News, our graduates stand out from the competition. You’ll draw on the expertise of experienced lecturers, who have worked for the likes of the BBC, ITV, Vice, ‘New Statesman’, ‘The Times’ and ‘Guardian’. Working in newsrooms and studios with industry-standard equipment such as JVC cameras (as used by the BBC) and Apple Iphone MoJo kits, our regular multimedia news days and a news week will give you the chance to research, gather and deliver stories to real-world deadlines. Our degree benefits from accreditation with both the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC) – one of only a few courses with this dual professional recognition.**Why University of Gloucestershire?**We’ve been using our expertise to support and inspire students since 1847.
