Why did you choose to study Global Journalism?

The School of Journalism, Media and Communication at the University of 91̽»¨ has an excellent reputation in the UK. In the School, we also enjoy excellent facilities and resources. The curriculum in Global Journalism is diverse and has an international perspective.

What did you enjoy most about the course?

In the workshops, I could apply theoretical knowledge to practise, master the knowledge of news writing in-depth, and receive lots of feedback. At the same time, I met many kind and responsible teachers! We could book their office hours to discuss academic issues with them - each of us was assigned a private tutor, and we could discuss any life and study issues with them. I still remember the conversation with my personal tutor when I was under pressure for my graduation thesis. The experience of studying Global Journalism is invaluable, as I have mastered professional theoretical knowledge and improved my ability of academic and independent thinking.

I have to say, I was fascinated by events set up by MA Global Journalism. International Journalism Week definitely deserves our attention! This is a high-level discussion led by media professionals, researchers and activists from around the world. Through International Journalism Week, I had the opportunity to communicate with journalists and scholars in the professional field, and even established connections with some of them on social media! I participated in the group competition and won third place. In addition, the department often invited scholars to give us lectures.
