Course Description:
'' The course is aimed primarily at those seeking careers in newspaper journalism. The course is situated in the Department of Media, Film and Journalism at DMU where journalism students have the chance to work alongside other media specialists in radio, video and film.
It is an intensive course. As well as undertaking NCTJ exams, you will be expected to engage with the academic issues surrounding the world of the journalist, as well as the commercial concerns relevant to all industries and those seeking to enter public relations. You have the opportunity to follow your own academic interests in a wide range of journalism-related topics for your dissertation leading to the Master’s award.
You will follow the NCTJ syllabus, leading to NCTJ exams in law, public affairs, handout, shorthand and newspaper journalism.
In addition, much time, including evening and weekend work, will be spent in practical research, investigation and writing exercises. You will be expected to spend the Christmas and Easter vacations with a local newspaper. There is a taught module on Issues in Contemporary Journalism, with subject matter ranging from marketing techniques to ethics, running through both semesters. You are also offered training in, and encouraged to become conversant with, new technologies and media.
The PG Dip/MA qualification is recognised internationally and as well as opening doors to subject-specific careers, gives those who have achieved this academic level all the advantages of obtaining a postgraduate degree. Many newspapers now require prospective junior reporters to have passed the NCTJ’s preliminary examinations before starting work. As well as helping candidates get jobs, those who pass these exams gain appropriate employment and those who register with the NCTJ are able to take the National Certificate after a further 18 months - the route to becoming a fully-qualified senior journalist.
