The Media and Journalism (MA) programme helps you understand the world of media and journalism, develop critical thinking, and become a creator of media content with real impact. It combines theory, practice, research, and current industry trends.
Do you want to upgrade your journalistic or communication skills and focus on more in-depth or research-oriented work?
Would you like to work in the media, research centres, public administration, education, or in leadership positions in communication?
Then this is the programme for you.
Become a voice of understanding, analysis, and quality content.
In a world flooded with information, we need experts who understand media dynamics, can distinguish facts from manipulation, and create content that carries real value. This programme gives you the knowledge to become exactly that.
The programme develops your ability to understand the contemporary media landscape, conduct in-depth research, and create content strategically. You will learn about the relationships between the media, the public, and authorities, the role of journalists in modern society, and acquire the skills needed for high-quality media analysis and content production.
The master’s programme is also suitable for those who wish to continue an academic career or develop communication strategies within various organisations.
It is strongly practice-oriented – lectures are delivered by experienced academics and industry professionals.
In the master’s programme, you will gain an in-depth understanding of contemporary media systems, the ability to think strategically, and the skills needed for researching, analysing, and creating impactful media content. You will also develop complex ideas and solutions aimed at professional excellence, autonomy, and ethical conduct, while strengthening your communication and leadership abilities for work in democratic, plural, and global environments.
The programme combines theory with real-world case studies — you will take part in analyses, the development of communication strategies, and projects led by experts with experience in journalism, media, public relations, and research. The programme also includes an independent master’s thesis, through which you apply your knowledge to a concrete research or applied challenge from the field of media and communication.
The programme is delivered in Ljubljana, and a part-time study option is available. The Study+ Support package allows you to attend and view lectures online and to take exams remotely.
