<div dir="ltr">The Jordan Media Institute (JMI) announced the start of the Master’s program admission process for the academic year 2015-2016. The Master’s degree in Journalism and New Media is awarded jointly by JMI and the University of Jordan. Applicants can hand in their application forms by visiting the Institute, or submit the form electronically through the online application process on JMI’s website (www.jmi.edu.jo). JMI will offer 35 scholarships this year, both full and partial.<br />
<br />
Dean Basim Tweissi said that the Master’s program will continue along two tracks: the first is the comprehensive exam track which focuses on graduating professional journalists equipped with advanced skills, specifically in the field of digital media, while the second is the thesis track which focuses on academic research and qualifies the graduates as professional journalists.<br />
<br />
He added that the program applies advanced quality standards in journalism education, and balances between theory and practice, besides its integration of communication technology and digital applications. He noted that JMI is the first educational institution in the Arab world to develop a journalism educational curriculum through making use of digital environment elements, in addition to focusing on building a solid foundation of knowledge and culture for the students.<br />
<br />
Dr. Tweissi added that the program roster along with the guest lecture series through which JMI hosts distinguished speakers from around the world, provide great opportunities for students to learn and explore new horizons. He added that students are given the opportunity to visit international media organizations and interact with renowned Arab and international journalists and reporters. JMI also facilitates study trips for its students to Norway and Sweden in addition to a trip to the Media and Digital Literacy Academy at the American University of Beirut.<br />
<br />
Dr. Tweissi urged journalists and graduates who are interested in working in the field of media to benefit from this opportunity by applying and competing for a scholarship. Applicants must have an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution and should be able to pass all the admission exams, samples of which can be found on the website. </div>
