Delivery

Thanks to distance learning, our journalism course can be completed entirely online. This is also sometimes known as correspondence learning and allows you to work at your chosen pace and adhere to your own personal timetable. It means you can fit the course around other commitments, particularly if you’re working while also trying to develop other skills in your spare time.

The time that would be spent travelling to and from classes can instead be used to complete the course, so you could finish it faster than another course that requires your physical presence. Should you have any questions while undertaking the course, your personal journalism tutor will be happy to help and guide you through the problem.
