MA/MS in Journalism

The Doha Institute's Journalism Master's trains Arab journalists for multiplatform newsrooms, with a stated focus on the region's social, technological, and political diversity and on sharpening Arabic-language writing and visual storytelling. The structure runs 30 credit hours of core courses, 3 of program electives, 3 of an interdisciplinary course, and a 9-credit thesis or capstone taken alongside an elective. Teaching pairs academic theory with hands-on placements at media institutions in Qatar, building digital-production skills, research capability, and a professional ethical framework for covering international, regional, and local stories. Admission looks for a bachelor's degree earned within the last five years, Arabic research and writing ability alongside working English, and — for non-native Arabic speakers — a spoken and written Arabic test ahead of enrollment; only one application per candidate is considered.
