International Journalism
New world, new narratives, new voices
- Do you have a story to tell? Do you need your voice to be heard? Do you want to add some humanity to the often brutal world we're living in?
- Our international programme gives you exactly the 21st-century perspective on journalism you have been looking for.
- With course content such as climate or migration reporting, you are fully equipped for a job in the editorial offices of the future.
- We also offer courses on new narratives in sociology, economy or history, coming from non-western perspectives.
- Innovation is key: yes, we do encourage the use of AI in your journalistic work.
- Skillwise you don't need to choose between text, audio or video: all three options will be in your resume.
- You will work in an English-speaking newsroom environment, with students from different cultures and backgrounds.
- This diversity enhances your learning experience, within the classroom and beyond.
In practice
Your internship in the third year will take place in an international environment. You can choose between interesting opportunities at international media companies in Brussels, or going further afield and do your internship in other countries, not only in Europe, but also in North or South America, Asia or Africa.
Personal coaching
We think personal coaching is very important, so there is a close dialogue between teachers and students. You get direct feedback on your work and you are developing a professional attitude. Within the practical courses and projects you work in small groups. Teamwork is an essential part of the study method.
