Taught programme
Research programmes
Postgraduate programmes in journalism at Kent offer you the opportunity to research and learn in an environment that combines excellence in the practice of convergent, multimedia journalism with intellectual leadership in the history, ethics and future of the news industry. The Centre for Journalism is leading the development of journalism as an academic discipline rooted in professional newsroom practice. It was established in 2008 to achieve top standards in teaching and research. It is professionally accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists and has unique work placement and scholarship agreements with partners including Sky News, Associated Newspapers and the Kent Messenger Group.
A lively and welcoming community spirit exists within the Centre. There are regular social events, seminars and masterclasses. Recent visitors have included: Allan Little, BBC correspondent; Sarah Ivens of OK! Magazine; Gavin Esler, presenter of Newsnight; Jon Snow, presenter of Channel 4 News and Mark Thompson, Director General of the BBC. Thanks to the range of research and professional interests in the Centre, we can offer wide scope for research supervision.
The Centre enjoys strong links with other academic departments including the School of History, Kent Law School and the School of Politics and International Relations.
It encourages collaborative and interdisciplinary research and joint supervision.
