MA Journalism at Oxford Brookes University

Entry requirements

Entrants to the programme should possess the following minimum qualifications: a second-class honours degree (2.2), or equivalent, in any subject; and an appropriate professional background and experience in the media. This should be evidenced by an appropriate CV which outlines your professional experience to date from either working directly in journalism and media or a related function. Applicants should also demonstrate a commitment to work in the media industries. This attribute is usually evidenced through the application and personal statement. But also through work experience or voluntary work in the media or fulfilling a journalism-related function in a non-media organisation, or at interview. Two references, these may be, for example, two academic references, or one academic reference and one from an employer. All applicants who meet the entry criteria are interviewed as an entry requirement. If your first language is not English then we will require IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each component.
