ASIAN COLLEGE OF JOURNALISM (ACJ)

South Asia’s premier institution of journalism education, ACJ, invites applications for admission to the Postgraduate Diploma programme of 2010-2011.

ACJ offers four streams of specialisation: Print, New Media, Television and Radio.
The curriculum, spread over three trimesters, combines the ‘how to’ aspect of journalism with a reflective ‘why’ perspective and is designed to enable students acquire the knowledge, skills and discernment for ready employment in the profession.

ACJ diplomates are in high demand in the media across India and south Asia.

ACJ is finalizing an association with Cardiff University in Wales, UK, whereby students who clear a set benchmark can top up their diploma credits with a 15,000 word Dissertation Project leading to the award of the university’s M.A. Journalism degree.

The course details and application form are available online at www.asianmedia.org.in
