This course is for students seeking to take their journalism experience to an advanced level and for students who have no background in journalism but are eager to supplement their academic knowledge with journalism skills. The course is open to people with degrees in other fields or with equivalent professional experience. It is offered as a one-year full-time degree or as a two-year part-time degree. It introduces students to the theory and practice of journalism in a global context. It has an international scope and deals with the practice of journalism across different media, cultural and regulatory environments. Students will have the option to tailor their studies by choosing a practice- or theory-led route depending on their interests and career ambitions. The practice track is useful for students who are coming from other disciplines but want to supplement their knowledge with journalism skills; the theory track is useful for those considering a PhD in journalism studies. Our MA is the first in UK to offer complete training in cutting-edge Open-Source Journalism techniques. The course is also enhanced by its link to Essexs prestigious Human Rights Centre, which will give students an opportunity to contribute directly to issues of contemporary significance by participating in the Digital Verification Corps.
