About this course

The Master of Advanced Journalism is designed to meet the needs of mid-career journalists and graduates seeking a career change. It is a highly industry-focused course that equips students with deep knowledge of journalism, technical skills and the adaptive capacities needed in the current digital dominated media environment. Students who successfully complete the course have current, and forward-looking skills that allow them to operate in digital newsrooms and on other digital facing programs.

The Master of Advanced Journalism equips students with the skills, deep knowledge and adaptive capabilities to build a career in today's rapidly changing and often highly disrupted media landscape.

Students gain hands-on experience in reporting, editing and related production and design skills in a wide variety of text, audio and visual mediums like our award-winning UTS Central News platform or the Foreign Correspondent Study Tour, which is an exclusive partnership with SBS News and SBS Online, giving students the opportunity to file news stories on the ground with the chance of being published.

Students have the opportunity to use, experience and think about emerging areas of journalistic practice, including drones, virtual reality and computer-assisted reporting, and work with leading practitioners in investigative, sports and entrepreneurial journalism.

The overarching aim is to foster agility and innovation in the local, regional and global media landscape which is evidenced by students who gain internships at the Guardian or regional reporting assignments.

The Master of Advanced Journalism is suitable for anyone interested in learning how to fully harness the power of journalism, from existing media professionals and journalism graduates needing to upgrade skills or try new things to people interested in realising the full potential of digital disruption.
