Journalism Centre
From its formation in 1964, Harlow College's Journalism Centre sought to be a leading specialist journalism training centre in the country, with courses accredited through the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ) and the Periodical Training Council (PTC). The centre boasts strong links with Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, through a BA Hons Journalism degree.
The journalism centre is now the award-winning centre for the study of journalism in the whole of the UK. The journalism students studying at BTEC level are now able to use the new £9m University Centre Harlow facilities, which is part of Anglia Ruskin University.
The current college was predated by a boys' boarding school of the same name, originally dating from 1862, which was situated in Old Harlow.

Famous quotes containing the words journalism and/or centre:
“In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs for ever and ever.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Freedom to think our own thoughts, freedom to utter them, freedom to live out the promptings of our inner life ultimated in this convention, was termed a monstrosity of the 19th century. What was it?—the legitimate out-birth of the eternal law of progress. This reformation underlies every other; it is the only healthful centre around which hope of humanity can revolve.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
