The French-speaking courses in journalism in Cairo 

The French-speaking journalism curriculum aims to train young Egyptians in print, broadcast and radio journalism.

This training course is focused on practice and is designed for graduate students and young professionals.

Moreover, this course is also open to French-speaking and Arabic-speaking foreigners.

This one-year curriculum which is taught at the Communication Faculty of Cairo University was created from a partnership between the Centre de formation et de perfectionnement des journalistes (CFPJ) and the Institut Français de Presse (IFP, Université Panthéon II-Assas).

 

Each year, about 15 students are selected through a bilingual written and oral entrance examination in September.

 

The teaching staff includes both French and Egyptian lecturers and instructors.  

 

Throughout the year, French journalists sent by CFPJ International give training courses on: information sources research (1 week), investigative journalism (2 months), radio (2 weeks: sound recording techniques, presentation of news bulletins) and TV (2 weeks: basic skills needed to work as a TV journalist/cameraman, voiceovers).

During the curriculum, the students have the opportunity to take part in 2 school-magazines:

Les Echos du Pavillon, le Calame.

 

At the end of the course, the students obtain an advanced journalism diploma: the "DES de journalisme" which is recognised by the three partners.
