Journalism

Assessment is structured around hands‑on, industry‑standard tasks that replicate professional media environments, requiring students to create news articles, features, podcasts, video packages, magazine spreads and multimedia content that adhere to contemporary publishing benchmarks. Each piece is evaluated through detailed portfolios, analytical reports, peer‑reviewed critiques and formal presentations, with grading informed by industry‑aligned criteria and feedback from practicing journalists and editors. The programme embeds regular lectures, intensive workshops, guided tutorials and real‑world briefs, encouraging critical appraisal of media influence, audience behaviour and ethical dilemmas. Learners develop expertise in research methodology, narrative construction, editing, multimedia production, publishing workflows and digital distribution, equipping them for positions in print, broadcast, online and social media sectors while cultivating a robust, employer‑ready portfolio. Assessment also includes reflective commentaries that document learning processes, ensuring alignment with professional standards and continuous improvement.
