It is open to work-study programs since September 2021. More than thirty professional journalists work alongside the team of researchers to offer training that is as close as possible to the newsrooms and to professional integration. The numerous partnerships, projects, workshops and conferences offered each year also make the program more dynamic.
In order to meet the needs of companies in terms of communication and technological developments, EJCAM offers courses dedicated to the new challenges of digital and communication.

Since the beginning of the 2021 academic year, a first Master's degree in Information and Communication is open to work-study programs, which allows us to diversify our pedagogical approaches, while maintaining our objectives of excellence and professionalization. About a hundred of professionals, specialised in media, communication and digital technology, teach in the various master's programs and in the bachelor's degree program, to complement the theoretical training offered by the professors.
Finally, EJCAM is firmly committed to lifelong learning by welcoming students in the framework of continuing education.
Being a component of a university institution, EJCAM is also committed to promote research in the fields of journalism, communication and the new information professions. In this respect, the courses combine academic requirements with professional imperatives, an asset for students who will have to know how to think, innovate and adapt in order to train or invent a profession which is in a constantly changing world.
