Die Departement Joernalistiek by die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) is een groeiende sentrum vir navorsing, studieleiding, onderrig en gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid in die veld van joernalistiek, media en kommunikasie. Ons bied tans Kennisvaardighede, ’n voorgraadse module vir alle studente in die Fakulteit Lettere en Sosiale Wetenskappe, ’n praktykgerigte honneursgraad en gevorderde navorsingsgebaseerde grade op MA- en PhD-vlak aan. Die praktiese aard van die HonsBA Joernalistiek-graad noodsaak ’n buitengewoon hoë werkslading ten opsigte van akademiese administrasie, en sluit addisionele verantwoordelikhede in vir personeel en toerusting in ’n produksiegeoriënteerde program. Die keuringsproses vir hierdie program is intensief en vereis fyn beplanning en korrespondensie met voornemende studente. Die Departement funksioneer soms as gasheer vir internasionale besoekers, konfrensies en werkswinkels en hou ’n aktiewe teenwoordigheid op die webtuiste en sosiale media, waarvoor inhoud gesorg moet word. Die Departement benodig dus akademiese ondersteuning vir al hierdie aktiwiteite.
