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.”

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.
