Curriculum of Journalism in English

 
 
Our curriculum combines a dynamic mix of theoretical and practical courses in order to provide students with both the breadth of understanding and the practical skill-set they need to become their generation’s leading journalists, editors, writers and producers. In our theory-based courses, students learn key concepts and principal ideas about the media and the media profession in order to be more aware of how the media work in society. Practical courses give students the skills and experience that they need to actually begin working.
