Times School of Journalism (TSJ) conducts a year-long full-time PG Diploma programme in Journalism with the objective of churning out fully-trained journalists and content professionals for leading media organisations - not just in India, but abroad. The programme designed to be a top-of-the-line course, enables students to learn the art of reporting, writing, editing, designing, scripting, programming etc in its state-of-the-art facilities - which includes a fully-functional news room and a TV studio enabling students to get exposure on all aspects of print publishing, online content systems and TV programming.
The academic year spans 12 months with 8 months of class-room training (including 3 weeks of winter training), followed by 3 months of paid hands-on internship. The students are given the choice to specialise in Business, Sports and General which includes Lifestyle/Entertainment and City/Political journalism. However, what makes this course different from other run-of-the mill journalism programmes is its integration with Times Group businesses which mean that not only do our in-house experts teach relevant topics to students in classrooms, but also do mentoring with individual guidance for each student during class-room training. The intensive training of nearly 4 months at various Times Group entities across India gives students the exposure of working with some of world's largest brands and getting trained by the best in business - an opportunity not offered by any other media/non-media owned media/journalism school.
