“The course has given me an insight into how a print journalist operates and how to write well for news and features. We used the tutor’s own work as course material and I felt this helped my learning. He had some tips that any aspiring journalist would find invaluable. I’m sure I’ll return to what I’ve learnt here throughout my career.”

The tutor’s expertise and experience was evident throughout the course; his anecdotes and own experiences brought the various themes to life.”
