Tens of thousands of people around the globe work as journalists, or in dozens of other fields where they use the skills they have learned in the media. Few other postsecondary courses prepare a student for so many potential careers as journalism and the choice of which school will provide that preparation is wide and varied.

You can select from the list of countries below to find the web sites where journalism schools are listed. The main English-speaking nations are shown and each site has advice on which schools and universities offer courses in journalism and mass communications.

* Journalism schools in Australia
* Journalism schools in Canada
* Journalism schools in Europe
* Journalism schools in India
* Journalism schools in New Zealand
* Journalism schools in South Africa
* Journalism schools in the UK
* Journalism schools in the USA

But, before you settle on a particular country or a possible school, you should read the section on Choosing the right journalism school. It offers sound advice on how to decide if a school offers the best courses to suit your needs. The next article you might care to review is Getting into journalism school. This is a personal account by an international journalist of his experience on how he went about finding a place in a school.

At some point, too, you could read the article Is a degree in journalism really necessary? Thousands of journalists working for different arms of the media in all parts of the world never went to a school to learn the craft: they learnt on the job. Nevertheless, these days many if not most media outlets prefer to hire university graduates and the best journalism schools prepare their graduates in a way that makes them highly employable.

The point, though, is that all is not lost if you do not get into a top journalism school – there are many doors that open to newspapers, radio, television, the world wide web and other branches of the media.
