We are know looking for students that will continue the Foreign Reporting tradition.

The module is designed to equip students with theoretical knowledge in support of journalistic work in international intercultural context and to expose them to the reality of being a foreign reporter on assignment. The programme emphasizes multiculturalism, ethnicity and international journalism. The module is taught by experts in the field and it includes a working assignment abroad.  The module Foreign Reporting has been organized for a decade already so come and join all the other Foreign Reporting Almuni!

The Module Foreign Reporting consists of:

• International Journalism, 5 ECTS
• Ethnicity and the Challenge of Diversity in Foreign Reporting,
  5 ECTS
• Foreign Correspondence in Practice, 6 ECTS
• Integrative Course, 4 ECTS
  

As one of the practical exercises, the students travel to Estonia on a working assignment which will result in a report for newspaper, radio or television. Thus, the participants are expected to have good English skills and some experience of practical journalism. See course programme for detailed information about the module content.

A Foreign Reporing coordinator is assigned to assist the students with various matters throughout the module.

 

Feedback from previous Foreign Reporting participants:

The fact that it brings people from different countries makes it even more exciting. It’s really an opportunity to learn.

 It gives you a more international perspective on the world and the media. Also, it’s a great way to meet colleagues from the whole world.

This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for learning with amazing professors and great colleagues.

The professional experience you get in the three months is probably better than what you get in a year.

 I recommend Foreign Reporting because it opens you to the world. In the group the diversity enables you to build a picture of the world.

 It will open you up to experiences that you probably can’t get in any other program.
