Journalism course receives BJTC accreditation

The broadcast journalism degree course at the University of Gloucestershire has gained professional accreditation from the Broadcast Journalism Training Council (BJTC)

The BJTC is a partnership that consists of employers in the UK broadcast industry, the National Union of Journalists, Skillset and the Sector Skills Council for the audio visual industries.

A panel of representatives from the BJTC watched students participating in TV and radio workshops at the University’s Pittville Studios.

Paperwork, teaching methods, and marking processes were also scrutinised and staff and students were interviewed before the accreditation was awarded.

Jim Beaman, course leader for broadcast journalism said, ‘We are delighted to have received the seal of approval from the BJTC. ‘The process has been useful for everyone concerned and means our students will have received proper training, development and experience which will benefit their future careers.”

The University of Gloucestershire is now one of 10 institutions with the BJTC accreditation for its teaching.
