International Multimedia Journalism

The MA International Multimedia Journalism teaches professional vocational skills to graduates of universities outside the UK who aspire to a career in the news industry in their home country. This course differs from our other taught MA programme in that it is not accredited by the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ), as the standard NCTJ diploma focuses on UK media law and the British system of government.

In this programme you learn to report for newspapers, news websites, radio and television channels in state-of-the-art newsrooms, learning reporting skills which are applicable to, and recognised by, news organisations around the world. Study at the only UK university which is co-located with a professional TV station, KMTV. Your tutors are award-winning journalists with front-line experience in local, national and international newsrooms.

MA graduate Mina Sabet covered Cannes 2019 for the broadcaster IranTV.

For entry to a Kent postgraduate degree programme (Master’s), Jordanian students typically need to have completed a Bachelor degree from a recognised university. Exact requirements will depend on the postgraduate degree you are applying for and the undergraduate degree you have studied.

• For programmes that require a 2:1 we usually ask for a final grade of at least Very good/76%/B or a GPA of 3.0/4.0
• For programmes that require a 2:2 we usually ask for a final grade of at least Good/68%/C+ or a GPA of 2.5/4.0

Some, but not all, postgraduate programmes require your undergraduate degree to have a related major. Some postgraduate programmes may require work experience in a relevant field or at a certain level.

PhD

For entry to a Kent PhD programme, Jordanian students typically need to have completed a Master's degree from a recognised university with a final grade of at least Very Good/B/76% or a GPA of 3.0/4.0. Students who have not completed a thesis as part of their degree will need to show evidence of previous research experience.

If you would like to pursue a PhD at Kent, you should visit the relevant department website and our find a supervisor page to identify potential supervisors for your research and thesis. You are encouraged to then make direct contact with the appropriate academic to discuss your research proposal.

Our courses equip you with the necessary skills to work as a journalist. Several of our students have been offered jobs before they have finished their examinations, and editors regularly ask if our best students could apply for jobs with them.

Our students have obtained jobs at places such as Sky News, The Daily Mail, BBC News, the Huffington Post and South China Morning Post.
