Civitas University in Warsaw teaches Journalism as a three-year, full-time bachelor's programme in English. It is addressed to school-leavers who like people and stories and want to work with a pen, a microphone or a camera.
The core of the degree mixes reporting practice with a view of global affairs. You attend journalism workshops on the basics and on handling information, a photography workshop and a workshop on political and investigative reporting, and you take Introduction to Online Journalism and Big Data Journalism. Global Media is taught from two angles, discourse analysis and the politics of conflict, and you add the analysis of current international affairs and world history since 1914. Along the way you learn to edit video, analyse data, manage content on social media and use professional audio and video equipment. The programme also covers building websites and verifying facts online.
The specialisation, New Media and Journalism, is built around workshops and includes:
Internships are part of the plan. You also take a foreign language and physical education, attend a bachelor's degree seminar and add elective courses, finishing with the degree of Licencjat in Journalism and New Media.
Graduates are prepared to work as journalists and reporters for the press, radio, television and online media, or as editors who oversee the quality and consistency of content. Others become content authors writing blogs, articles and corporate digital material, camera operators editing video for news and multimedia projects, or data and research analysts who support investigative work. Communication roles are open too: social media manager, communications manager and press spokesperson.
