Tradition combined with innovation – this is the keynote of the 2018-2019 academic year at the School of Advanced Journalism. This year, the students of the 13^th graduating class will have the chance to get to know the journalistic experience of such countries as Romania or Germany, in the framework of the School's cooperation projects. The only condition is for them to show perseverance and determination.

Perseverance and determination are also necessary to become part of the SAJ team – but there is nothing impossible, because the School is open to all! The conditions are minimal: you need to have graduated from college or to be in your last year at university – doing intramural or extramural studies; you may have an undergraduate degree in law, economics, history, political science, agronomy, technical studies, theater... or anything else, but you want to be a journalist.

A modern journalist can do just about everything

For about 13 years now, the School of Advanced Journalism has been the place where this profession can be learned from scratch in just ten months from the best local and international experts, who will help you become the best in this field.

And since we are in the age of new media, which have generated new realities and new standards, the students of the 13^th graduating class will learn to combine classical journalism with new information technologies, which will become their friends or even allies. Because today it is no longer enough for a reporter to be the best in writing news stories, interviews, or reports. Modern journalists can take photos, film, edit, and often even promote their products online. All those things are necessary to capture the attention of media consumers.

Our future students will work with the best journalists and media experts from Moldova and from abroad. They will share with young people knowledge about new media, about writing news reports that gather the most views, about recording sounds and images, and, most importantly, about turning it all into a good story.

Also, during the courses future students will test various applications and will film real TV reports, sometimes with just a mobile phone at hand; will learn to create a news portal and start a business in the media; will have the opportunity to meet the most interesting personalities from the world of politics, economy, and society; will participate in various local and international media projects, including study visits to Romania and Germany.

There are only a few steps to become a student of the SAJ

To become one of the 20 students of the 13^th graduate class, you only need to have higher or secondary professional education, or to be in your final year at college/university, full time or part time. But, most importantly, you need to have ambition, determination, and courage – we’ll help you with the rest!
