Highbury is renowned as a centre of excellence for journalism training on the south coast.

Every year dozens of Highbury graduates gain a job in journalism - many of them snapped up by newspapers, magazines and radio and television stations before their course has finished.

Employers know our students are highly-trained, highly-motivated and well-prepared for the pressures of the newsroom.

That's why Highbury graduates are in demand - and why thousands of our former students now hold senior posts in the industry.

Top professionals like ITN's Mark Austin, the BBC's Jon Pienaar and CNN's Chris Cramer.

And a wide range of employers put their faith in our training programmes every year, either by sending staff for training at Highbury or by asking us to deliver tailor-made in-house training.

They include the Sunday Times, the BBC, Northcliffe, Archant, Newsquest, Johnston Press, Guardian Media Group and many, many more.
