In today's fast-paced digital age, journalists need the versatility and skillset to create high-quality features across diverse platforms.
UWE's MA Journalism (Specialist Features) gives students the writing and audio skills to be confident in producing a variety of content across both print and online channels. Through a mix of practical and analytical learning, students will develop high-quality writing, research and storytelling capabilities, alongside technical skills such as page layout, podcasting and website building.
Unlike other MAs focusing on either news or specialisms such as sport or fashion, this course centres on feature and long-form writing for a range of media markets. Students will also have the chance to build up a specialism of their choice (such as sport, music, the environment, travel or fashion), ensuring they develop as a versatile, knowledgeable and employable journalist.
Students will work with the experienced journalists, and be based at UWE's arts-focused Bower Ashton studios, where they'll be immersed in the writing and multimedia journalism skills needed for today's media industry. They will build experience on placements and work shadowing, work on their own projects, and go away with a high-quality portfolio of their print, online and audio work to show to prospective employers.
