BJ 2018, Martin Choi, Graduate Trainee, South China Morning Post
“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.

Most of JMSC's courses require hand-on experience and help you understand new concepts or skills through exercises. Teachers will encourage you to try different tasks and develop your own interests in different news beats. I took three courses on finance and economy when I studied at JMSC, which has laid a solid foundation for my current career as a business reporter.

MJ 2017, Tamsyn Burgmann, Editor; International Opinion, The New York Times

“Journalism, for me, is a calling and one the JMSC answered heartily. I got to pick the brains of our craft’s legends in Asia. Geek out with peers over news of global import. And nabbed work with the International New York Times. The master’s programme gave me the boost I needed to level up.”

Ernest Chan

MJ 2017, Ernest Chan, Associate Editor, Ignites Asia

“The MJ programme represented a career switch for me after several years working in tech in Hong Kong. The experience brought me up to speed with some of the hard skills required in the field, but the main advantage of the programme was the opportunity to network and build relationships with experienced journalists, as well as fellow classmates who shared my enthusiasm for journalism.”
