Our MA Data Journalism programme is designed to give you a competitive advantage in your career. This programme provides a detailed, critically oriented, and career-oriented knowledge of data as a meaningful record accessible to journalists in order to prepare you “for jobs of the future” (Vision 2028).
Data journalism is an important part of the news process, and it is quickly becoming a critical competency across all industries. According to a Google News Lab survey on data journalism conducted in 2017, 51% of companies in the United States and Europe have data journalists on staff.
This programme investigates how technology and big data have created new intersections between data and journalism, responding dynamically to the future of journalism, data and technology, as well as discussing novel approaches to traditional news reporting methods.
