PMA POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN MAGAZINE JOURNALISM

PMA Media Training has been providing a twice-yearly postgraduate fast-track diploma in magazine journalism for the past 21 years.

Having a PMA Diploma on your CV is recognised by the industry as a sign of quality, practical skills and motivation.

It is accredited by the Periodicals Training Council (PTC), with NCTJ exam options. The Diploma is the fastest reliable course for those wanting to get a job in journalism. For over 20 years we have had candidate success rates of over 90% getting good first jobs on magazines within 6-8 weeks of the course ending. You learn practical skills from top journalists, including news and feature writing, writing for the web, sub-editing, proof-reading, design and layout, media law and shorthand.

Past delegates have gone on to be editors and deputy editors on top publications such as FHM, Marketing, Arena and FourFourTwo. Many more have won national writing awards.

If you want to work in magazines, the PMA Postgraduate Diploma is the fastest way in. Of course we can’t guarantee jobs. But some people receive job offers even before the course has ended. Many people we’ve trained are now in senior positions — and they know who to ask when they’re looking for new journalists. That kind of networking is invaluable.

The full-time Postgraduate Course in Magazine Journalism runs just twice a year starting each January and July. Full details are available on:

You can also read about the experiences of some of those who were on previous courses by reading the student blog.

We’re happy for you to visit our training facilities. We can also arrange for you to talk to our tutors and to past students.
