Why Us?
Our NCTJ-accredited BA (Hons) Multimedia Journalism degree, The School of Journalism, is the number one journalism undergraduate degree in the UK.
We’re a unique collaboration between News Associates award-winning journalism training and Plymouth Marjon University.
Each year The School of Journalism will offer a select group of students a practical and innovative way to study journalism in London.
At The School of Journalism you will become a journalist on day one. It’ll be fast-paced and practical – just like the job.
You don’t learn journalism from a textbook so all our students will contribute extensively to our Londoner news sites – established news sites run by News Associates. There will also be the chance for work experience at our agency and our clients – putting theory in practice is core to our delivery.

100% of The School of Journalism’s class of 2021 achieved first-class degrees and gold-standard NCTJ diplomas, continuing the success of previous years.
In 2020, 100% of The School of Journalism’s first cohort of graduates achieved gold-standard, making us the best NCTJ-accredited journalism degree in the UK. The national ‘gold-standard’ pass rate for the hugely-demanding NCTJ Diploma in Journalism in 2020 was 20%, making the feat of our graduates all the more impressive.
News Associates has been officially recognised as the UK’s best NCTJ journalism course for six years running. News Associates also won the Innovation of the Year Award at the 2020 NCTJ Awards for Excellence, recognised for adapting teaching styles and exercises for remote learning, keeping up morale for trainees and running a series of free online workshops open to everyone.
