The study curriculum may change from time to time. Applicants may make reference to the programme website or the University Student Handbook for details of the list of courses. Aims / 课程目标 The MA in International Journalism Studies (MAIJS) Programme provides professional postgraduate studies in international journalism with a particular emphasis on Hong Kong, mainland China and East/Southeast Asia. Launched in 2007, the programme has become known as an excellent preparation for a career in the news media, especially in the fields of international journalism and business and financial journalism. Specifically, the Programme aims to: provide an opportunity for mid-career journalists to reflect on their profession and develop their conceptual and analytical skills to improve their work; provide the basis for a future career in journalism, particularly in the international field; provide a scholarly introduction to the field of study for those contemplating further research for academic, professional or personal reasons; and bring together a group of students who can contribute different perspectives on the field of study. There are two concentrations in the programme: International Journalism & Business and Financial Journalism . The International Journalism concentration aims to cultivate journalism professionals with an in-depth understanding of international politics, economy and culture, and equip them with the necessary skills to cover international news in English. The Business and Financial Journalism concentration aims to accommodate students with or without previous experience working in or studying business and economics. Students not only learn how companies and markets function, but are also taught the skills of writing and reporting business and financial news for daily newspapers, business journals and financial websites in English. Admission Requirements / 入学要求 Applicants should: hold a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university or comparable institution; or have at least seven years’ experience as a journalist or in another related profession that, in the view of the Department, constitutes a level equivalent to a first degree in courses relevant to the MA programme, and must show evidence of academic aptitude and achievement. Language Proficiency Requirement / 英语要求 Applicants should be able to communicate in English at an advanced level. Applicants whose first degree is obtained from an institution where the medium of instruction is not English should possess a minimum TOEFL score of 79 (internet-based test)*; or an overall band score of 6.5 in IELTS*. *Note: Test result provided should be within two years from the date of issuance of the Admission Offer letter. TOEFL iBT Home Edition or IELTS Indicator test is not accepted. Others Applicants should submit a 500-word self-statement in English outlining their academic interests and career objectives, or a sample of a piece of journalism or research paper or similar work written by the applicant in English.
