Digital Communications: Podcasting & Video

This programme is for learners who wish to graduate as industry-ready, journalism and communications professionals with advanced Podcasting and Video skills. With six dedicated in TV and radio production modules delivered in our industry-standard radio and TV studios, learners get hands-on content production and editing experience.



The Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Communications: Podcasting and Video is designed to be delivered on a full-time basis over one calendar year and on a part-time basis over 2 years. It consists of nine taught modules which are delivered during the academic year and a dissertation which is completed during the summer months. Throughout the programme, learners will have an average of 18 hours of contact per week, attending lectures, news days, labs and studio sessions.



To assimilate the material and to complete the assessments, learners are also required to spend a significant amount of time outside of those contact hours engaging in self-guided study, development and practice. The Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Communications: Podcasting and Video consists of 9 mandatory modules and does not include a dissertation.



The first semester of this programme is designed to be commonly taught with MA Journalism learners and provides an understanding of the workings of the media industry as well as developing specific skills in journalism. The second semester builds on this knowledge and contains broadcast journalism specialisms such as Video Journalism, Radio Documentary Research and Production and Radio, TV News and Current Affairs.



The reporting, writing and packaging of news for online audiences requires an evaluation and understanding of the digital media world and the module Digital Journalism will equip learners with the skills required to produce news and features in a web context
