Journalism Courses in Canada

Study a journalism program at a Canadian university or college

As one of the oldest and most esteemed courses, Journalism continues to evolve through the 21st century. Journalism courses are focused on the practice of investigating and reporting events, issues, and trends to a broad audience. Modules include digital journalism, journalism in a wider global context, magazine journalism, multimedia journalism, and the craft of shorthand.

Optional placements are available during the final year of study, and students are encouraged to gain experience through the universities’ close links with the industry by spending anywhere from three months to one year on work experience.

Journalism Careers

Journalism graduates will find roles across a wide range of private, public and voluntary sectors in criticism, sub-editing, page design, reporting, proofreading, copywriting, web editing, PR, social media and marketing.

Journalism Entry Requirements
