International Master’s Programme in Indigenous Journalism

Indigenous journalism is a developing field in communication practice, with an increasing need for professionals and experts. Sámi University of Applied Sciences offers one of the few existing Bachelor programmes in journalism from an indigenous perspective. This international Master’s Programme in Indigenous Journalism started in 2015 as a unique programme in the field of media and journalism in the world. Simultaneously, this programme offers a continuation to the existing Bachelor’s programme at the Sámi University of Applied Sciences.

The Master’s Degree Programme in Indigenous Journalism provides rigorous academic training for further study and deep insight into the world of journalism, while simultaneously examining the world of journalism from an indigenous perspective. An important aspect of the programme is to enable the students to reflect upon what it means to be an indigenous journalist, and what, if any, bearings this perspective has on journalistic practice. The programme offers theoretical and research based knowledge of journalism, and of the methods and skills that are required for working as journalists in advanced positions.
