I came to HKU Journalism with no background in journalism, equipped only with a desire to learn and stories of how intense the MJ program would be. Adaptability, flexibility and tenacity were drilled into us in the form of world-class teaching across audio, video, and writing programs.

“I first developed interest in television news during my exchange semester, but it was the course Anchoring and Video News Writing offered by HKU Journalism that gave me the biggest push in taking up the role of a news anchor/reporter as a fresh graduate.

The masters programme in journalism (MJ) at JMSC taught me the multimedia storytelling skills that are of utmost importance in today's digital world. The faculty members here are some of the most kind and generous people I have met in my entire life. They not just teach meticulously in classes but also encourage one to strive for better.

“I’ve never ever imagined one day I would be standing in front of a class of nine-year-old kids instead of a camera before completing my degree at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre. Four years ago, I aspired to become an inspiring, truth-seeking journalist. Yet, the curriculum and my experience at HKU Journalism opened my eyes, eventually leading me to understand the underlying problems in our society.”

“My four-year journey at HKU Journalism took me many places, and I left with a lot of fond memories and friends. My professors never shied away from imparting their knowledge and experience, and always took the time to guide me in the right direction. The tight community of staff, alumni and students at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre meant that there was always someone close by.”

After years of working as a journalist in Asia, I felt I needed to strengthen my skills to move forward in my career path. JMSC courses helped me to finally be able to shoot and edit my own video stories, have a better grasp of all kind of multimedia online tools, and gain an expertise in financial journalism, a skill that has helped me find my current job as a reporter for a financial publication in Hong Kong.

The MJ programme has something for everyone. It is also a great learning environment under established practitioners for a diverse club of young journalists from around the world. In particular, I was amazed by the level of empathy on display among the faculty at Elliot Hall. It's a family.
