UCD Clinton Institute and CNN Academy are partnering to create an innovative new Masters programme in Journalism and International Affairs that will commence in January 2022.

Very directly connecting the classroom and the newsroom, the new MA programme will feature world-class journalism and industry-led practical training combined with academic expertise in international affairs.

It will equip new generations of journalists to report on critical global issues of the day, from climate change, to human rights to terrorism. It will appeal to and reward those with a passion to not only understand the world but explain it in ways that are informative and transformative. 

“We are at the dawn of a new age of political communications, defined by a growing complexity of media systems and communication abundance. It can be confusing and frustrating to make sense of the world today - we need to develop new skills and challenge old assumptions to do so. That is what this new MA programme aims to do.”
— Professor Liam Kennedy, Director of UCD Clinton Institute
