Bachelor of Journalism

The Bachelor of Journalism is a communications-focused double-major curriculum for the digital age. Students use the journalism component of the curriculum to build critical thinking and communications skills across multiple media; by the end of the four-year curriculum, they will be able to produce accurate and deeply researched written work on a variety of subjects, shoot and edit compelling video documentaries, and create data-driven online journalism.

In their second year, each student will choose another academic major to combine with the journalism component, thus creating a bespoke degree that will allow them to explore their unique intellectual interests fully. Throughout the programme, the emphasis is on experiential real-world learning. All students will complete at least one summer internship at a media publication or other communications-focused organization. A diverse faculty and student body ensure a lively learning environment that feeds students’ curiosity about the world. Class size is kept small to foster classroom discussion and the family feeling that makes the JMSC an extraordinary place at HKU.
