Course Overview

We run employability and media production modules as part of our curriculum – e.g., Journalism Employability, Broadcast Journalism, Multi-platform and Entrepreneurial Journalism, Journalism Placement, and Community Radio in Practice.

Our students are encouraged to get involved in the student-run media on campus, including Galaxy - our student magazine; LUST - our student TV station; and LUSH Radio - our student radio station.
