Neil Arun didn’t want to miss a rare but risky opportunity to embed with an Iraqi police unit, hunting members of al Qaeda. But his employers -- responsible for Neil’s security -- weren’t happy. This film by Richard Pendry nvestigates how a frontline journalist balances risk and reward.
Our undergraduate programme has just produced its first graduates and already our alumni are producing work for newspapers, mainstream magazines, television news programmes and web sites.
Entry to this highly sought-after course is intensely competitive. We're looking for students capable of achieving at least ABB at A-level who can demonstrate their aptitude and desire for a career in journalism at interview. All applicants are also required to sit a two-hour admissions test.
The successful applicants will find themselves working extremely hard on this combination of vocational discipline and academic excellence. We'll put all the tools you'll need at your disposal - HD video cameras, audio recorders, radio and tv studios and full newsroom facilities - and teach you how to use them. You'll learn all the core reporting skills (including shorthand), as well as journalism production skills that will enable you to produce quality output in any medium. You'll be shooting, editing and publishing work from the very first week.
