The one-year MJ programme was a transformative one that left me better equipped to navigate the ever-evolving challenges of the media landscape. I already had some foundational skills before coming into the programme, but it allowed me to take my reporting abilities to the next level.

My time at HKU Journalism helped shaped my career path in more ways than one. I was able to enrich myself in new skills — from hard news writing, TV production, and audio editing — all of which are valuable skills I take with me in the passion I’ve found in the field of sports journalism and reporting.

One of the distinctive features of the JMSC at the University of Hong Kong compared to other universities is the mandatory double major requirement. On one hand, this effectively opens up an additional potential career path.

The classes are my favorite part of the BJ Programme. Nothing can top the feeling of stepping into a classroom with like-minded, journalistic people who are also diversely talented, and getting ready to learn together. The instructors made lessons more interactive as well — I got valuable hands-on experience with camerawork in my video news production class that I use every time I film.

I think one of the most important experiences in university is trying out different kinds of internships. It helps me understand my field of study from a practical angle, rule out career paths that are not the best fit for my personality. and most importantly, helps me realise what I’m interested in and passionate about.
