Journalism and Media Week 2025

In November 2025 we held the seventeenth edition of this landmark event, welcoming speakers from the worlds of journalism, media, film and photography. Over four days (Monday 10 - Thursday 13 November), our students and recent graduates were able to hear from a range of individuals who have been active in their roles for years, discovering what inspired them to choose their careers, the challenges they faced and more.

Journalism and Media Week gives attendees a rare opportunity to get up close and network with their heroes and learn from professionals seen on TV, heard on the radio and working behind the scenes to make it all come together.

Information for Journalism and Media Week 2026 will be announcing soon.
