The Mediatized Conflict Group

This group focuses on issues such as the reporting of war, terrorism, crime and violence. We have done extensive work on crises such as the Iraq war coverage, as well as research into court reporting, prison and, particularly, sexual violence. This Group also addresses issues around racism, urban conflict and global crises.

Special Features:

The School is one of Britain's premier centres for teaching and research, with staff who have international reputations both in practical journalism and in research and publications.

Requirements

Normally a good undergraduate degree is required (a first or exceptionally a 2.1) and candidates will usually have successfully completed an MA degree.

Note: International students pursuing part-time programmes of study are not eligible for Tier 4 General Student) visas and must have alternative leave to remain in the UK if they intend to study at the University in person.

English Language Requirements

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since April 2014 the ETS tests (including TOEFL and TOEIC) are no longer accepted for Tier 4 visa applications to the United Kingdom. The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa.

The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
