The Diploma in Journalism is a qualification which will equip learners with necessary competences and skills to engage in various areas of journalism production. The programme is specifically tailored to cater to both in-service specialists seeking professional upgrade, and those who have decided to choose journalism as a career without previous exposure to it. The contents, approaches and delivery scheme for the programme modules have been carefully filtered and configured to build on its three prominent features:
- Flexibility,
- Extensive practical exposure,
- Considerable amount of disciplines supporting journalism practice, including three languages (English, French, Creole).
The programme focuses on the three main aspects of preparing a competent journalist:
- Development of a wide range of specialized technical and academic skills in the field of broadcasting, print journalism and new media,
- Multilingual journalism proficiency,
- Enhanced capacity for informed decisions and critical approaches in journalism practice.
Full time – 4 years
Part time – 5 years
