Global Journalism - International Master Program

(120 ECTS credits)
The MA in Global Journalism is a two year program for practicing journalists, or aspiring journalists with an education in journalism or the equivalent, wanting to further their journalistic knowledge and skills focusing on international news reporting. The programme has a global focus and brings together students from all around the world. The students’ varying experience from different media systems, political systems, different countries and cultures provide the basis for a discussion on work practice and ethics, and shared problems and challenges for the journalistic profession.
The aim is that the students after completing the programme will be able to a) - within the area of global news journalism - analyse and report international events, identify and integrate regional/local aspects in global events, and b) have incorporated advanced skills in the use of technology for information gathering, analysis and publishing.
The programme is offered in cooperation with journalism educations in Finland and Norway, and parts of the programme are given at universities in these countries. Depending on choice of thesis subject the students may spend the major part of the second year in Norway or Finland.
