This course addresses subjects such as writing, sub-editing, magazine production, blogging and design techniques, research skills and how to generate lively, interactive content for the web. This course features hands-on activities such as feature writing, interviewing, sub-editing, magazine production, blogging, and writing and uploading online copy. In an editorial team, students will produce two magazines and a magazine website and undertake a placement on a published title.
Students will also have the opportunity to study magazine design, production, fashion and sport or data journalism. Finally, they will carry out a 12–15,000 word dissertation or a related practical project. Kingston's popular design classes will cover professional training in both InDesign and Photoshop. Students will produce video journalism and podcasts as well as having access to the new media lab at the Knights Park campus and the new library's dedicated magazines/journals area.
Kingston has a successful partnership with magazine publisher Haymarket, which offers placements, joint projects and job opportunities. This course prepares students to work in the magazine industry. It gets them ready for anything they might come across: from writing features for a women's weekly or putting together a news story for a trade publication to making a video or building a brand.
Kingston University allow students to do a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the university cannot guarantee the work placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.
