Curriculam

First Term

Reporting and writing are the central disciplines of journalism. Accordingly, the core of the ACJ curriculum in the first term is an extensive series of lectures and workshops on gathering and presenting news.

Second Term

In the second term, students begin to specialise. They learn to select, report, edit, and produce pieces in the form required by the particular stream they have chosen.

Third Term

In the third term, students pursue their stream specialisations, producing work of increasing range and complexity. They also continue to take elective courses.
Much of this final term is devoted to two major pieces of work required of all students — the Investigative Report and the Dissertation.
