About this course
This course gives you the opportunity to study Multimedia Journalism in combination with Mandarin Chinese. You will undertake practical language classes for your minor language, while also developing an understanding of the social and cultural environment in which the language is spoken.
Studying Multimedia Journalism:
Our daily lives have been greatly influenced by the rapidly evolving field of digital media. Today, journalism is not just about investigative news reporting and writing. Journalists are now expected to have the skills to work successfully in broadcast, print and online production and our courses will equip you to meet those requirements. Our courses focus on the ongoing developments in the industry, providing a dynamic and challenging environment for those wishing to pursue a career in journalism, digital publishing or the wider media.
Mandarin Chinese:
Mandarin Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world and China is the world's second largest economy. Speaking Mandarin will allow you to communicate with millions of people around the world. In business, people who speak Mandarin have a distinct advantage with the Chinese market, as it is easier to develop all-important relationships when you can speak the language (bbc.co.uk).
Admissions at Beginners level only.
This course has a Foundation Year available.
