Digital Journalism Certificate

Admission Requirements: Any student in any faculty at Simon Fraser University may declare the Digital Journalism certificate through the Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology; the page states no separate entrance test, minimum entering average, or prior credential beyond current SFU enrolment. Normal grade point average requirements for entry into Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology (FCAT) courses apply, though no specific minimum threshold is given on this page. No portfolio, interview, or language-test scores are mentioned. Because declaration depends on prior admission to SFU rather than a separate certificate-level gate, English-language proficiency for that underlying admission follows SFU's general undergraduate scale, e.g. IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no section below 4.0 (tests from 21 January 2026), PTE Academic 65 overall, or Duolingo 125 overall.
