ODL QC re-accredits The London School of Journalism

At their meeting earlier today, the Open & Distance Learning Quality Council agreed to re-accredit The London School of Journalism. Founded in 1920, the London School of Journalism is one of the oldest journalism schools in Europe. Based in London and Bath, the School offers distance learning courses in journalism and news-writing, freelance & feature writing, sub-editing & design, short story & novel writing, writing for children and writing poetry, together with several courses in English. Alongside, there are face-to-face courses and summer schools, not covered by ODL QC accreditation. Students are drawn from all over the world.

In his report, one of the Council's assessors gave particular praise to the quality of tutor support, which he described as "exemplary", and "outstanding examples of Distance Learning Support".
