Journalism

The Journalism study programme trains students for independent journalistic work in a modern mass media environment. Students first gain basic knowledge in political sciences, sociology, communication studies, and law, and then continue to acquire comprehensive theoretical, analytical, linguistic, and technical skills, and the competences required for practical journalistic work in print, audio-visual and electronic media.

Students are introduced to modern journalism by university teachers, as well as by prominent editors and journalists who acquaint students with the fundamental methods of journalistic work, and ways of articulation through various types and genres (see some final items on Novinarke.si | Novinarji.si). As part of a 150-hour internship, students are also directly involved in the work process of various media newsrooms. This internship therefore enables them to experience self-dependent journalistic work under the supervison of skilled mentors. After completing their studies, graduates are able to work as journalists in a wide variety of mass media. They have the ability to provide in-depth insights into social issues from various areas, they know how to effectively tackle the dilemmas of the profession, and they understand the main purpose of journalism and its responsibility to the public.

The candidates have to provide evidence of Slovenian language skills proficiency at level B2 of Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR).
