Course Overview

About This Course

The Master of Journalism (Double Masters with University of Warwick, course code A6015) combines journalism or international relations study with communications, integrating global politics and journalism through study in Europe and Australia, designed by leading practitioners across both fields. The Master of Journalism component provides the opportunity to work with award-winning journalists and academics with strong industry links, cultivating high-level skills in research and reporting across print, online, radio and video, and exploring the role of media in contemporary society. Students can couple the Master of Journalism at Monash with any one of nine MAs taught through Politics and International Studies at Warwick: International Relations, International Security, International Political Economy, Public Policy, International Politics and East Asia, International Politics and Europe, International Development, United States Foreign Policy, or Political and Legal Theory. The program is completed in two and a half years full-time, concluding with a joint dissertation (taken at either Monash or Warwick) supervised jointly by Monash and Warwick academics. Graduates receive a Master of Journalism from Monash and a Master of Arts from Warwick.
