Best unis for Journalism !!

HELPP!! I am applying for unis atm and was wondering what would be the best place to go. I want somewhere that offers me an NCTJ and that’s quite reputable.

Oxford Brooke’s seems good but according to their course it seems like it’s more into writing and less digital media stuff.

Is there anyone that can recommend anything?

future headline-maker! You want the crème de la crème of journalism unis, complete with NCTJ accreditation and a bit of digital media sparkle. Well, grab your notepad, because here are the top picks that’ll have you reporting like a pro in no time:

University of Central Lancashire (UCLan): Their BA (Hons) Journalism program is basically a buffet of all things journalism. Print, radio, TV, digital—you name it, they’ve got it. It’s like the Hogwarts of journalism, without the Sorting Hat drama.

University of Lincoln: Welcome to the digital newsroom utopia. Their BA (Hons) Journalism course will have you producing news content like a pro. You’ll be so good, you’ll probably get hired before you even graduate.

University of Portsmouth: NCTJ-accredited, baby! Their program covers both print and digital media, and graduates practically walk straight into jobs. They’re turning students into journalism superheroes, one diploma at a time.

University of Sunderland: News and magazine journalism with a side of digital media. It’s like the journalism equivalent of a double-shot espresso—pure energy and excitement.

Nottingham Trent University: This BA (Hons) Journalism course is an all-you-can-eat news feast. Practical training across all platforms, including digital. Who needs Netflix when you’ve got NTU?

So, there you have it. The top dogs of journalism unis. Go visit, chat with some students, and find the one that makes your journalistic heart skip a beat.

If your enquiry is specifically about Oxford Brookes, you might ask the moderators to move your thread to the Oxford Brookes sub-forum. For a more general enquiry about courses in journalism, maybe enquire in the sub-forum about journalism courses, as doing that might attract more answers (in addition to the very helpful answer above from StudentAC).

The University of Oxford doesn't run a journalism course for undergraduates, but many leading journalists studied a variety of other subjects there. For example, if you watch an edition of Channel 4 News presented by Kathy Newman, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, and Matt Frei, all three studied at Oxford.
