University of Sunderland Journalism and Media Day

Explore a range of taster workshops linked to the University of Sunderland’s Media and Journalism courses. The day is designed to give prospective students a practical introduction to what studying in this area can look like, with activities that connect course content to real creative and media careers.

Participants will get to experience the facilities used by current students and take part in four workshops: a journalism escape room, a podcasting session, a TV studio experience, and a creative game-writing activity. Each session gives students a chance to try different skills, from verifying sources and presenting on camera to planning, recording, editing, and storytelling.

The event is aimed at Year 12/13 students and can be booked by school groups or individuals. It offers a hands-on way to explore university study in media and journalism while learning how the courses link to different career paths.
