The ACJ postgraduate Diploma in Journalism to M.A. Journalism from Cardiff University

 

The Cardiff University at Wales in the United Kingdom has audited and recognized the ACJ postgraduate diploma programme as on par with its own. An exclusive arrangement between the two is in place whereby students of the ACJ who clear a set benchmark can transfer their diploma credits to Cardiff University and, on successful completion of an additional dissertation, be awarded the University’s M.A Degree in Journalism.
