Investigative Journalism

Build the vital skills in research and reporting that are needed to form robust investigations with the power to change lives and society. Our pioneering Investigative Journalism MA is an intensely challenging programme that focuses on the practical investigative abilities you'll need to succeed. You will learn how to investigate and communicate across different journalistic platforms.

We will teach you how to investigate using open and closed sources, open-source intelligence (OSINT), data journalism, access to information laws, financial investigative journalism, interviewing and dealing with vulnerable people, and the basics of ethical undercover work.

- We will teach you a range of skills, from basic news writing for print or online, to producing short films and podcasts.

- We will teach you how to operate legally and ethically.

- At the end of the course you'll produce a piece of professional-standard investigative work on the platform of your choice.
