The programme provides all the skills you need as a journalist: from pitching ideas, writing and editing, verifying misinformation, to packaging a story with multimedia.

Coming from a teaching background, my knowledge of the world was limited to a classroom, but the Master of Journalism programme at HKU exposed me to opportunities that I will never forget. I would have never imagined that within a short year, I would now be working my dream job in radio presenting and news reporting.

To me, HKU Journalism is not only a place which inspired my dream to become a reporter but it was also like a “second-home” where I was blessed with their support in pursuing this dream.

HKU Journalism taught me how to be a force for good in a professional way. As an emerging young journalist passionate about social justice and public service, journalistic professionalism is crucial to report compelling stories with strict ethics and integrity in the chaotic and controversial world.

From 2018 to 2021, I was a part-time Master of Journalism student and worked full-time for Google. While I was working in news and publishing for the private sector, I also wanted to gain editorial skills for the newsroom. I felt HKU offered the best option for me because of JMSC’s commitment to journalistic ethics and principles, the diverse and reputable faculty, and the chance to gain hands-on experience in a historically and politically significant city.
