International Journalism

Dive into the international media sector. You will produce cross-media reports, news items, and other journalistic stories for a global audience.

In the meantime, you learn all the professional and technical skills you need to become an international journalist. At the end of your studies, (foreign) news and its background will no longer hold any secrets for you. In some of the courses, you will work with students in International Communication Management and International Graphic and Digital Media in interdisciplinary teams, just like in the industry.

What will you learn?

In International Journalism, you do cross-media assignments with global impact. First, you get started with audio, photo, and video - online and in print. Then, you become a guiding journalist who can work for several (international) media brands.

Proficiency in English and good writing skills are a given. Naturally, you can approach your subject matter with a critical eye. You get in-depth knowledge of the global media landscape and establish interesting contacts.

It is all about your curiosity, talents, and skills. We'll coach you into a critical doer, a journalistic jack-off-all-trades with international panache.

Study programme and professional sector

Of course, you want to find out how things work in most journalistic jobs during your studies. So you get assignments for real external initiators and interesting classes by guest speakers. You will be coached and assessed by communication experts. You also develop technical skills that are always useful, like knowledge of Photoshop, Indesign and video. We adjust our curriculum regularly in collaboration with the professional field to keep the learning content up to date. Through your internship and final project, you set your path and get more in touch with professional practice.

Learn to work independently

During your track, you are followed intensely, by lecturers and external experts, both in face-to-face contacts as via Canvas, our digital learning environment. You will acquire a more self-directed approach as you progress in your study programme.
