Master Journalisme

Université de Lorraine offers the Master Journalisme at its Metz campus in France, a two-year graduate program taught in French. Journalism programs train students in the research, writing, and production skills needed to report news and produce content across print, broadcast, and digital media. Students typically study news writing and editing, interviewing techniques, media law and ethics, and the organization of newsrooms, alongside practical training in producing content for print, radio, television, or online platforms. Coursework often includes investigative reporting methods, fact-checking and verification practices, and the changing role of digital and social media in news distribution, as well as media economics and the business side of news organizations. Because journalism increasingly spans multiple formats, students also tend to build skills across text, audio, video, and data-driven storytelling, along with an understanding of press freedom and the legal responsibilities of reporters. Graduates commonly pursue careers as reporters, editors, or producers for newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations, and online news outlets, as well as related roles in corporate communications, media relations, and content strategy. Some pursue specialized reporting beats such as politics, business, or culture. The program is conducted entirely in French, requiring strong French-language proficiency from applicants. It is scheduled to begin in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Metz, in the Lorraine region of northeastern France, hosts this training within a university offering a range of communications and humanities programs.
