If you’re ready to move your media career to the next level, a fabulous new training course from Bournemouth University could be the answer.
The university has launched a new range of short courses for media professionals. There are more than 30 to choose from, so you can take just one or create a pick-n-mix MA that’s tailored to your interests and needs.
Modules include Editorial Leadership, Scriptwriting and Entrepreneurial Journalism, taught by journalist Tom Hill.
The benefits of these short media courses
Experienced academics and practitioners deliver the courses, with a two-day ‘creative retreat’ at the core of each, taking place on a Friday and Saturday in Bournemouth. This gives you the chance to network with likeminded professionals, as well as develop your knowledge and skills in the specific area of study.
An additional seven weeks of online tuition and support is available; culminating in the award of 20 Masters level (M) credits, which you can use to build you own tailored Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma or a full Masters degree.
You need 60 credits to be eligible for a Postgraduate Certificate and a further 60 credits to be eligible for a Postgraduate Diploma.
The next courses will run in March 2010.
