London School of Journalism Courses
Who are we?
The London School of Journalism provides a wide range of courses, covering all aspects of news journalism, freelance and feature writing and creative writing.
The LSJ has been teaching journalism and writing for nearly 90 years - and unlike most 'schools' who offer distance learning courses we are a real school, staffed by real journalists and writers who enjoy working with real students. You can rely on our long experience of teaching to give you the best opportunity to succeed as a journalist - our distance learning courses are based on the same syllabus and same documentation as our internationally established postgraduate courses.
Decide on the type of course that suits your needs, and click on the sidebar links. You will be able to find fully detailed information on all our courses. We hope that one of them will be right for you.
Our courses are well-known throughout the UK, and the rest of the world, for producing journalists of the highest calibre - on average around half our students come to us because of specific recommendations from newspapers, broadcasters and individuals active within the profession.
| Not all our students wish to be journalists, however. Our courses are also taken by those for whom a knowledge and understanding of journalism is a great advantage - PR, politics, the law and advertising are only some of the professions to have sent representatives on our courses. In almost any job, being able to write succinctly, accurately and quickly is a great advantage. |  |
Where are we?
| The School is based in Maida Vale. 15 minutes walk (or two tube stops) from Paddington Station, which is at the heart of London's public transport system. One of the most attractive parts of London, it is very central, with wide streets and a peaceful atmosphere. For students and visitors , the school courtyard provides 'cafe' style space for coffee and conversation - and the occasional tutorial when the weather is suitable! Coffee and cold drinks are available at all times. The canals of Little Venice are a few minutes' walk from the School, as are the cafes, bars and restaurants for which Little Venice is well-known. |

Being a distance learning student can leave you feeling as if you are writing and working in isolation - so, for any students that are interested, we have created a virtual school on Second Life. We hold talks, live events, short story and poetry readings and competitions. Working with other writing groups we provide a base which will allow you to meet and talk to writers all over the world. |
