The Media School

Journalism - accredited by BJTC, NCTJ and PTC

The media school at Bournemouth University has become one of the leading institutes to study Journalism in the country. We were the first University to have a Journalism course accredited by all three major industry bodies.

All students are exposed to all elements of Journalism, across print, online and broadcast. We have distinguished industry speakers conduct master-classes with our students including Mark Thompson, the Director General of the BBC to Visiting Fellow Eve Pollard, the first woman editor of a daily newspaper.
