THE number of university-qualified journalists continues to grow all around the world. While you can still get a job with a media organization at entry level without a degree, many jobs in communications, particularly with government organizations, now require tertiary qualifications as a prerequisite.

If you choose not to get a journalism degree, it might be okay for a while, but it is likely to be a decision you will eventually regret.

Opinions about great journalism schools are highly subjective and can be heavily influenced by a few personal experiences. However, it is certainly true that good journalism courses develop reputations for turning out graduates who are highly regarded within the industry. The reputation of a journalism school definitely ranks highly in importance as something to help you make a choice.

Some journalism courses with very high entry requirements do not have industry reputations to match courses with lower entry requirements because of their record in producing distinguished alumni. So it’s a question worth investigating – who are the distinguished graduates of the course? Most universities with a good track record in this area will not be backward in telling you of their many distinguished alumni on their website.

There is a direct way that also might help you to make a choice: figure out the job you would like more than any other, then ring up the Editor, Chief of Staff or Cadet Counsellor at the organization where you would most like to work and ask them which course they would recommend.

Of course, it’s critical that modern journalism courses keep students up to date with the latest developments and any journalism course that does not have a significant digital or new media component by now is letting its students down.

Fortunately, most senior university journalism staff have well and truly come to understand the importance of digital media and have brought in specialist lecturers, and developed facilities and courses.

The degree of emphasis on digital media will vary from course to course and if this is where you see your future, you will want to investigate whether or not specialist qualifications are being offered that can give you an edge. Without a doubt, tertiary qualifications in digital media will put you ahead of the game – but equally without a doubt, this is a rapidly developing area where you will constantly need to update your skills.

Another important marker for a good journalism course is that it is run by staff with sound industry links. Check their biographies online. Do the professors and senior lecturers have backgrounds in journalism that you would like to emulate? If they do, there is a good chance they can help find you internships in places you want to be and answer the questions you want answered.

Of course, a very important factor for Asian students studying internationally is the level of support available. The needs of individual students will differ. If proficiency in English is an issue, there will be no way of hiding this while doing a journalism degree. It is vital that your university has support available for you in a way that will not disrupt or prolong your course. Details about this support should be available online at any respectable university website under the heading of student services.

One statistic to be a little wary of is student satisfaction surveys. While this should not be discounted altogether, some of the best regarded journalism courses perform poorly in surveys of student satisfaction. Experience tells us that this often has more to do with the fact that many students in top courses have much higher expectations and are more likely to be critical – which, ironically, is exactly how they are taught to think.

The following list of top journalism schools is not ranked in any particular order, but has been compiled with a view to range of factors including links to industry, industry reputation, strengths in new and social media, academic reputation, salary and job success, and empathy to Asian culture.
