BA (Hons) Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism with a Placement Year

Truth-seekers and storytellers apply here! In a world where it’s hard to know what’s true and what’s not, we’ll teach you how to find out what’s really going on, and how to generate news stories that can make a difference. You’ll create your own online news, podcast and digital videos – the best are published on our award winning UEAJournalism website.

You’ll practice live broadcasting and go to court to report on real criminal cases. You’ll learn inclusive journalism too, working with diverse communities to help them tell their stories. Importantly, you’ll also study UK media law so you can practice professional journalism.

On our BA in Broadcast and Multimedia Journalism with a Placement Year, you’ll normally spend 9-12 months of your third year in a placement, gaining invaluable working experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice. At UEA you’re not just one of the crowd – we offer small group learning so you can develop the skills you need to find, research and create stories for radio, TV and online. We’re BJTC accredited and we also offer excellent learning support to guide you through the process of creating your own journalism, not just studying the theory.
