About Broadcast Journalism, MA - at Cardiff University

Our MA in Broadcast Journalism is a challenging, practical programme, designed to prepare you for a career in broadcast news in the UK.

Prepare for an exciting career in TV, radio, digital, and social media journalism with Cardiff University’s MA Broadcast Journalism. This intensive, year-long course delivers hands-on training to prepare you to become a multi skilled industry-ready journalist.

Accredited by the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC), this course is designed to reflect the demands of a real newsroom.

You’ll learn in our industry-standard TV radio and digital studios, developing skills in researching, producing, and delivering news across multiple platforms.

We expect you to have curiosity, a passion for news, and a commitment to storytelling. We're not looking for ready-made journalists, but If you regularly watch, read, and listen to the news and have gained some experience - whether through placements, student media, or freelance work – that’s a good start.

You’ll gain:

  • expertise in TV, radio, and digital journalism, preparing you for a multi-platform career.
  • hands-on experience in news production, live reporting, and storytelling in multiple formats.
  • skills in social media strategy, mobile journalism, video and audio editing.
  • a three-week industry placement with major broadcasters. Previous examples include the  BBC, ITV, Sky and LBC.
  • the confidence to work independently, adapt to fast-changing technology, and engage audiences across platforms.

This course is designed to prepare you for a career in the UK news industry. While international students are welcome, those with broader global journalism ambitions may prefer our MA in International Journalism.
