This Major Project modules gives you the time, opportunity and resources to undertake a major piece of journalism before the end of your University career. A series of lectures will give you the skills and knowledge you need to effectively plan your major project in the media platform of your choice. A dedicated supervisor will support you through a series of individual one-two-one tutorials and give you formative feedback on your progress. A highlight of this module will be the chance to pitch your work to a professional standard (LO4, 5). The module will continue across both Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 - when we will hold an event to celebrate the completion of your work.
