Why our course?
Whether you choose to study in Newcastle or London, you can expect the very highest quality of training delivered in a real working media business.

Course structure
Our 17-week, intensive, full-time courses are action packed from day one. They run twice a year, in January and August. You’ll learn all the basics of being a great reporter and have the chance to produce stories for the Evening Chronicle, The Journal on the Newcastle course and various London newspapers if you are studying in the capital. This is sure to impress the editors you are applying to. Our next Newcastle course starts on August 23 and runs until December 17. The London course starts on August 30 and runs until December 23.
