A degree from a recognised university. We do not look for your degree to be in journalism or media studies - but it can be an advantage to have your degree in an 'essay subject', rather than in the pure sciences. Successful candidates will often come from within the disciplines of History, Geography, Philosophy, Law, Natural Sciences, English, Economics, Politics and Modern Languages.

(At our discretion, and subject to circumstances, other qualifications may be acceptable for applicants aged 23 or over with two or more years' experience working within the profession.)
