UEA Multimedia Journalism Example Timetable

newbie_2025

Hi,

I am starting my undergraduate BA multimedia journalism course at University of East Anglia in September and was wondering if anyone has an example of their first year timetable at all?

I have asked the UEA but they don’t answer or just say you will see soon which doesn’t help! Lol.

Hey,
Huge congrats on getting your place for Multimedia Journalism at UEA! That's super exciting! 🎉
While I can't find an exact timetable for my first-year Journalism course, I can give you a general idea of what first-year classes often look like, based on my own experience. Keep in mind that exact module names and how they're taught can vary between universities and even years.

A Glimpse into First Year Journalism Modules 📚

In my first year, my modules generally covered a mix of practical skills and theoretical understanding, often including:

•

Digital Publishing/Photojournalism: This was more about visual storytelling, including how to take and edit photos for news, or creating content for online platforms. 📸

•

Journalism and Media in Society: This module involved things like essays and presentations

•

Journalism Skills - News Reporting: This focuses on the core craft of journalism, like how to write news articles, interview techniques, researching stories, and understanding news values. 📰

•

Media Making for Journalists: This is where you get hands-on with broadcasting! Think learning how to use audio and video equipment, script for radio, record pieces to camera, and basic editing. 🎤🎬

You'll likely have a mix of lectures (bigger groups, more theoretical), seminars (smaller groups, discussions), and practical workshops (hands-on with equipment or software). The actual timetable hours can vary a lot, but often you'll have a good balance between contact hours and independent study time.
You'll get your precise timetable closer to September, but hopefully, this gives you a clearer picture of the kinds of exciting things you'll be diving into!
Good luck with your preparations!😊
