ÉCOLE DES AFFAIRES INTERNATIONALES (PSIA) · Joint Master in Journalism
JOINT MASTER IN JOURNALISM AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRES, SEMESTER 3, FALL 2026, (M2)
Fall semester 2026-2027
QUANTITATIVE SKILLS
Students must take ONE Skills course in English or French, either in Semester 2 OR in Semester 3.
Students who have not taken the compulsory Skills class in S2 MUST take it in S3.
Please note that students may obtain a waiver for the skills course upon presentation of the appropriate justifications (transcripts, syllabi and letter of explanation either in French or in English only) before course registration. This decision will depend on the nature and number of relevant courses already taken, as well as the grades and credits awarded. Students who secure a waiver for the Skills course will attempt 4 fewer credits and therefore must take and validate an additional course (4 to 6 ECTS) within the list of "Optional" courses in order to make up for these missing credits.
Skills waiver request form:
Please complete the Skills waiver request form in the link below by 15th June 2026 (Fall semester registration) OR by 23rd November 2026 (Spring semester registration).
