Journalism masterclasses

Our journalism masterclasses represent a place where the academy welcomes key players from the media industries, and students who engage in journalism practice and study learn at first-hand about their preoccupations, concerns and experiences. Those who report, present, manage, regulate or simply reflect on the rapidly changing media world give an insight into the industries our students aspire to join.

We regard the masterclasses as an essential element of applied journalism knowledge, and as such they are compulsory for all students taking BA Journalism Studies and MA Journalism. Students on other degree programmes are also very welcome to join.

How to take part

Our masterclasses are scheduled for 12 noon on Tuesdays throughout term time. We’ll email you a link to join shortly before each session begins.To access the sessions on Blackboard, simply log in, then head to Organisations, then Masterclasses & Research Seminars then click into the individual session.

We encourage students to engage with the masterclasses using social media. Please use hashtag #jusmasterclass and feel free to tag the department.
