MSc Programs in Photojournalism

When a graduate student at a university completes the set of coursework prescribed for a specific subject, he or she is then awarded a Master of Science degree. The student may then go on to enter the job market or pursue a doctorate degree.

What is an MSc in Photojournalism? Photojournalism is a field in which people use photography to either tell a story solely through images or to accompany a written piece. There is a great deal of practice and technique involved in order to effectively convey the story you are telling, which makes up a great deal of the coursework in this degree program, as well as time taken to familiarize oneself with the latest technology. Classes cover subjects such as ethical and legal issues, theory, design and picture editing.

From a personal perspective, a master’s degree in photojournalism affords one the opportunity to tell real stories in a unique, visual way that is free of many of the pitfalls of bias that come with written journalism. Additionally, mean salaries of photojournalists are quite respectable at around $41,000.

The cost of a master’s program in photojournalism varies greatly depending on the field you wish to enter and the prestige of the school. Comb through information on school websites and talk to admission workers to compile a list of options based on costs.

With an MSc in Photojournalism, you have the ability to go into several different professions depending on your preferred medium. Some people prefer to go into the fast-paced but higher-paying area of television photojournalism, while others flock to printed outlets such as magazines and newspapers, where you tend to get a bit more time to find the perfect shot.
