Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism- Print and Convergence Media

Your journalism education begins with a 10-week skills training module called 'Writing and Reporting'. In the first term, all students take the following courses

You will take classes in deadline news, profile writing and feature writing.

You will take classes in video, audio, photography, and graphics and design.

You will attend seminars in digital engagement including classes in social media for journalists.

You will also complete three short courses in the essentials: law, ethics, and the fundamentals of journalism.

A culmination of the skills and essentials modules comes about when students begin to produce journalistic work on a daily basis for the duration of the programme. Students update our in-house news portal with the latest stories, analyses and videos written and created by them. This work is produced under the mentorship of their pathway instructors. Students are encouraged to compete with local and national media houses on landing scoops and putting out content on the news portal that meets highest professional journalistic standards.
