Fully funded trips to New York and Shanghai, fantastic (and well-paid) job prospects, and the chance to apply for a generous tuition scholarship. These are just some of the advantages offered by the Global Financial Journalism MA at City, University of London — and there are still places available for study this autumn.

City’s course has a remarkable employment record with nearly everyone who has done the MA going straight into a journalism job, with alumni taking up their first roles at the BBC, The Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg in London, Frankfurt, and New York.

One of the most attractive aspects of the MA is the knowledge that the skills and expertise learnt are highly likely to lead to a journalism job at a high-profile publication. Students not only learn the skills to work in fast-paced multimedia newsrooms across the globe, but also hone a specialism around business, finance, and the economy — skills that are highly sought after by publishers.

There’s no need to have a previous financial background and the course also offers generous scholarships and bursaries.

The deadline to apply for the course starting in the autumn of 2023 is August 1st. Further detail about the course can be found on the Marjorie Deane Financial Journalism Foundation here and here, as well as on the City, University of London website.
