MAZ – THE SWISS SCHOOL OF
JOURNALISM
MAZ –
the Swiss School of Journalism, the leading Swiss educational
institution for journalism has a clear mission: the education of young
journalists and the further education of experienced journalists in all
media in the German-speaking regions of Switzerland. MAZ is also
gaining prominence in neighbouring countries – an active and continually
growing network has evolved through students and instructors. Courses of
study are continually being adjusted to meet the needs of international
media professions.
Since it was established in 1984, MAZ has been supported by the
publishers, the Swiss national television and radio association (SRG SSR
idée Suisse) and the journalist associations. The focus is clear: media
and journalism are the priorities.
Part-time courses of study for those already working in journalism and
courses of study for those preparing to enter the professional world –
from the master’s level to short introductory modules are available and
impart the craft specific to print and electronic media.
The courses of study are practically oriented, compact, modular and can
be compared internationally through the ECTS credit system. The
further-education seminars are short, top quality and prestigious. They
often host international students. The 300 instructors are professionals
from the editorial staff at newspapers, magazines, radio stations,
television stations, photo agencies and Websites; from science; from
publishing, politics, business and the arts. Seven directors of studies
ensure that students receive intensive guidance.
MAZ is
the ideal place to form the professional network that is essential in
journalism. This is also true for executives and others from
businesses, administrations and associations who want to expand and
improve their media, language and communication skills.
MAZ, a member of the University Campus Federation of Lucerne and the
European Journalism Training Association EJTA, is nationally and
internationally networked. It cooperates with Swiss universities and
universities of applied science and arts, with other institutions within
the field and with foreign journalism schools. It is one of the
initiators of the Swiss Association for Quality in Journalism and sets
professionals standards through membership in several journalism-prize
juries.
