Course content

Our intensive Magazine Journalism course prepares you for your first job in magazine media. Whether that is print, online, digital, apps or social media – you will learn how to use the multimedia platforms a modern magazine uses.

Magazines today offer a wide range of possibilities for anyone looking to start a career in journalism.

From glossy fashion monthlies and quirky independent quarterlies to weekly titles for business people, customer magazines for retailers and brands, purely digital magazines, websites and even freelancing – our MA Magazine Journalism prepares you for all these possibilities.

When you finish studying Magazine Journalism with us, you’ll feel prepared to meet any challenge your first job on a magazine might throw at you. Print, digital, social media – you’ll know how to handle the multimedia platforms a modern magazine uses.

You’ll be prepared to sit in your first editorial conference and know what is expected of you and how to pitch your ideas clearly and confidently.

You’ll gain knowledge and a set of skills that will not only enable you to compete effectively for any entry-level job in magazine journalism but also set you up for a rapid career trajectory.
