"Maintaining these accreditations for over a decade demonstrates BA (Hons) Multi-Media Journalism's outstanding professional relevance at a time when employability is increasingly important to Higher Education" |
After the unconditional re-accreditation of BAMMJ by the National Council for the Training of Journalists in March 2006, the latest re-accreditations mean that BAMMJ has held full accreditation from the three leading journalism training bodies without interruption for over a decade, a record unequalled by any other journalism course in the UK .
Head of Journalism and Communication David Bradshaw said: "Maintaining these accreditations for over a decade demonstrates BA (Hons) Multi-Media Journalism's outstanding professional relevance at a time when employability is increasingly important to Higher Education. It is also a tribute to the members of course team who have made sure that BAMMJ has evolved in line with major changes in the profession, notably the growth of online journalism and the convergence of once-distinct methods of delivery."
BAMMJ was launched in October 1992 and is widely recognised by journalism employers as one of the top journalism courses in the UK.
