LONDON SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM
Online Postgraduate Course - Non attendance
Who?
The London School of Journalism provides online postgraduate courses in journalism for students, who are unable to attend a course in London, or who prefer to study in their own time with the minimum disruption to the working or domestic life. This course provides excellent pre-entry knowledge and experience. By taking a postgraduate journalism course with us you will receive the best possible training. The LSJ has been training journalists since 1920 - we have all the experience and knowledge you will need.
Postgraduate Diploma courses offer one of the best routes into modern journalism. Journalism is changing rapidly, and we make certain that our students fully understand what is required for today - and for tomorrow - so that each individual can maximise the chance of achieving their personal goal.
These courses are well-known throughout the UK, and the rest of the world, for producing journalists of the highest calibre - on average, half of our students come to us because of specific recommendations from newspapers, broadcasters and individuals active within the profession. You can see what Tony Maddox, Managing Editor CNN, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and others, have to say about our students.
Not all our students wish to be journalists, however. This course is also taken by those for whom knowledge and understanding of journalism is a great advantage - PR, politics, and advertising are only some of the professions to send representatives on our courses. Being able to write succinctly, accurately and quickly is career enhancing in almost any job. Check the syllabus, how it works and what you need to do pages for information on the exact content of the course. |
