Our Journalism courses are accredited with the NCTJ
City College Brighton and Hove provides training for the internationally recognised NCTJ Journalism course(Magazine and News). City College has been awarded the status of Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) to reflect the exceptional high standards of training for these courses.
The Multimedia Journalism courses at City College Brighton & Hove are some of the best performing in the UK. They are practical based courses with the aim of getting students a job on a magazine, newspaper, online/video website or for those who want to make it as a freelancer. In today’s world, it is crucial that journalists-to-be have as many skills as possible, and a wide range, and that is achieved through the content of these courses.
The one year Multimedia journalism course would be suitable for someone wanting to train to be a fully qualified journalist but has other commitments they have to maintain.
The fast track is a high pressure course and students are made aware that it comes first; hence we discourage students with part time or evening work commitments.
City College has great links with local and national press and this year we have secured the opportunity for four students to be sponsored through their courses by Sussex Newspapers and The Latest Magazine. Visit Latest 7 to see where you could be working next year.
The work our students produce is to an extremely high standard. In these pages you will see examples of the kind of hard-hitting and entertaining work they produce. Our students go on to work in prestigous publications throughout the world, and you can find out exactly where they go here.
The views inside are those of our students and do not represent the views of City College.
The work inside represents the free-press and is uncensored. As such there may be content that could be found offensive by some. City College will do their utmost to label this content.
We offer a 34 week course (one year) or an 18 week fast track course that can be completed in 5 months, when considering the fast-track option we advise you to take into account the demands and intensity of the course. The City College NCTJ is the best performing in the country and the demands are such that it would be unlikely that you would be unable to balance work commitements outside of this course. If you have any concerns regarding this please feel free to contact us either at the interview stage or before.
