Students will immerse themselves in the communications and media scene in London during this 5-week summer programme. Designed to take advantage of opportunities for students to experience some of the unique communication headquarters in London, excursions include visits to news organisations, and major sports and arts events held throughout the summer. Courses are designed with special emphasis on journalistic skill-building as well as theoretical analytical components. Guest speakers are a major feature of this programme. Students live in university halls of residence near the GEO in London Centre.
