Journalismus (mit Auszeichnung)

Before you can be admitted into the Honours Program, you will need to get support from a faculty member in the Department of Journalism and Communication Studies who will serve as your project supervisor. This is not necessary before you apply, however it would be good to start a discussion with possible supervisors. Ideally, your supervisor should share interests in a similar area of research or journalism with you. Acceptance into this program is competitive and students are accepted based on their academic history, the viability of their idea and if an instructor can be matched with the project. This can be quite vague at this point, such as diversity in newsrooms, or the long-term effects of COVID-19, or how selfies change the world, or whether comments should be allowed on news stories. Through the research process, your topic will be honed and fine-tuned.
