What will I learn?

During this HND Journalism and Content Production course, you will cover a wide range of practical skills – from news writing to mobile journalism. The core focus of the course is on the practical skills that journalists and content producers need and editors or businesses demand.

All classes are delivered by staff who have worked in journalism or communications and are aware of the ever-changing requirements of this fast-paced industry.

Training on Scottish legal and political affairs is also provided which includes trips to Edinburgh and London.
