This pathway on the MA Global Journalism prepares students to tell high-impact world-changing stories using data.
It is delivered in partnership with the Institute for Journalism and Social Change, led by Claire Provost, former data journalist for the Guardian and head of global investigations for Open Democracy.
Our course content as well as teaching methods are rooted in a conception of journalism’s potential to speak truth to power, and a concern for the different ways in which that is under threat: from disinformation to emergent forms of censorship and repression.
Our diverse range of modules also share a common orientation towards the Global South, championing decolonised and feminist approaches, and placing both the under-represented and the under-reported at the core of our curriculum.
Above all, you will have the opportunity to develop and hone a cross section of skillsets applicable to a wide range of career paths within journalism and beyond.
