The program is designed to bring business journalism in China in line with top international reporting standards.

The School of Journalism and Communication at Tsinghua University, one of China's top universities, offers a master of arts degree in global business journalism designed to bring business journalism in China in line with top international reporting standards.

The two-year program is the only business journalism master’s program in China that is taught completely in English. Half of the program’s students are Chinese, the other half are international. A limited number of scholarships are available.

Taught by an international faculty, the curriculum covers subjects essential for business journalists, including data mining and multimedia economics reporting. It also boasts a media lab with 10 Bloomberg financial terminals for student use: the largest such lab at any university in the world.

The deadline to apply is March 20.
