The Konrad Adenauer Asian Center for Journalism offers programs designed primarily for working journalists

MANILA, Philippines – The Konrad Adenauer Asian Center for Journalism (ACFJ) at the Ateneo de Manila University is accepting applicants for its journalism programs, including one for a Master of Arts in Journalism degree, until Wednesday, January 15.

MA Journalism Fellowships

The fellowships are awarded to full-time Asian journalists who have excellent professional and academic record, a commitment to good journalism, and leadership qualities. A grant covers tuition and other expenses for the two-year MA Journalism degree program offered by the Communication Department of the Ateneo de Manila University. 

Designed for working journalists, the MA Journalism program is a hybrid distance learning program. Online class sessions take place via the learning management system Blackboard, and classroom sessions are held at the Ateneo de Manila University’s Loyola campus in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines.

The curriculum is made up of 12 courses including courses in ethics, and specialized reporting and writing courses such as International Reporting, Investigative Journalism, and Reporting about Religions. The program’s design allows working journalists and other media professionals to study at their own pace and time, and in their own homes or workplaces.

The international faculty includes experienced journalists and academics from Australia, Canada, US, UK, Germany, the Philippines, India, and Malaysia. (Learn more)
