Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism with a Year Abroad
Broadcast and multimedia journalism prepares you to tell stories across the full range of contemporary media platforms: television, radio, podcasting, online video, and digital news. The discipline combines the core skills of journalism, reporting, verification, interviewing, and editorial judgement, with the technical competence to produce, present, and distribute content in multiple formats. As audiences consume news across an ever-widening range of platforms, journalists who can work fluently across media are more valuable than those trained in a single format.
The University of East Anglia's four-year full-time degree in broadcast and multimedia journalism includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study at a partner institution in another country. This international experience adds real depth to a journalism programme, because contemporary journalism is increasingly global in character: stories cross borders, audiences are international, and the media landscape in different countries offers different models and practices from which to learn. You will study news reporting, broadcast writing, radio and television production, video journalism, podcast production, digital publishing, media law, journalism ethics, and the evolving business models of news organisations.
The year abroad enriches your understanding of international media and develops the cross-cultural awareness that global journalism demands.
Broadcast and multimedia journalism graduates go on to work as reporters, producers, presenters, and editors across television, radio, podcasting, and digital news. Many enter regional or national broadcast organisations, while others work in online journalism, public relations, corporate communications, or content creation. The programme also provides a strong foundation for postgraduate study in journalism or media, and some graduates move into documentary making, audio journalism, or specialist reporting in areas such as business, politics, or international affairs.
