Toronto Metropolitan University offers MA/MS in Journalism, a master's degree in Journalism programme in Toronto, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years. Tuition for international students is CAD 8,837 per credit (CAD 3,135 per credit for local students).
This program leads to a Master of Journalism, a two-year, full-time program delivered on the Toronto campus. Students develop professional journalism skills across newspaper, broadcast, magazine, and digital platforms, combined with study of journalism's historical context and contemporary practice, and training in advanced research and coverage of Toronto's diverse communities. In the final year, students complete a substantial piece of journalism as their major project. Senior students are placed in internships at outlets including The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, CBC, and CTV, and contribute to the school's own publications, On The Record and the Review of Journalism. Admission requires a four-year undergraduate degree, a minimum 3.00/4.33 GPA, a statement of interest, resume, transcripts, two recommendation letters, an optional portfolio, and proof of English proficiency. The program suits students pursuing careers as journalists and journalism leaders across professional media organizations.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Toronto Metropolitan University sets one guaranteed-consideration date for both domestic and international applicants applying for Fall 2027 entry: complete applications and amendments received by 1 February 2027 receive equal consideration for admission, and TMU says this same date applies to 'all domestic & international applicants.' Non-academic ('Grades-Plus') requirements are generally due around this point too, though the exact date varies by programme. For Winter 2027 (January-start) entry, TMU's program-status page gives domestic applicants a guaranteed-consideration date of 1 December 2026, with most programmes closing applications in mid-December; a limited number of programmes separately accept international applications for winter admission subject to space availability, but TMU publishes no fixed closing date for those international winter applicants. Admission is not rolling: late applications are considered only as space allows after the guaranteed-consideration date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
