LSJ

LONDON SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM


Before you decide on a course

Points to consider

Look at the course syllabus, and compare it with the syllabus of a similar course from another provider.

Look at the list of our tutors and lecturers. Compare their ability with that of the staff who will be teaching you on any other postgraduate course.

Your personal tutor provides you with specific and detailed support throughout your time with us - many of our students say this aspect is one of the most important parts of the whole course.

All our postgraduate courses are well-established and provide the necessary skills required by the profession. We will show you how to be a journalist, rather than teach you about journalism.

Our course is a practical experience and not just further education... You will receive the benefit of our very practical training - you will think, act and write like a journalist - not just talk about being one.

If you know someone who has taken a course at the LSJ, speak to them. Or talk to someone working in the industry.

We have been training journalists for longer than anyone else. We have over 85 years' experience - and it shows.

And if you still can't decide, contact us and we can arrange for you to speak to one of our experienced journalists, who will be pleased to help you find the answers to your questions.

STUDENT COMMENTS

...and most importantly, by your honest practical advice and wisdom!

I just wanted you to know that I didn't do anything for the first year as I had just had a baby. But, this summer I approached some editors and I am now having to refuse work I'm so busy! I've written for an in-flight magazine, hotel magazines, and many womens glossy's. The money I paid for my course was more than doubled in writing just a few articles!...

I'm absolutely snowed under with deadlines and I have to say the freelance journalism course has to be the best (and most profitable!) course I've ever done.

...the novel I worked on with you came back with a very thorough 11 page critique and the reader saying she thinks I have the foundation for a working novel....
