Program overview
The Graduate Certificate - Contemporary Journalism at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Toronto is a graduate certificate that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.
This graduate certificate builds modern, multi-platform journalism skills on top of your existing qualification — reporting, writing, video and audio, digital publishing and verification — through newsroom-style, portfolio-building practice. Graduates work as journalists, digital producers and multimedia storytellers across news, media and communications.
Delivered at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Scarborough, Toronto. Note that this field is not among the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so the program may not support a Post-Graduation Work Permit — if working in Canada after graduation matters to you, confirm the current position on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list and with IRCC before applying.
Graduates are well placed for roles such as Journalist/Reporter, Digital Content Producer and Multimedia Storyteller, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.
Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.
Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
