Access and Admission

It is an essential requirement to access the Master's programs to have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent in accordance with the current legislation. A Bachelor's Degree in Communication Sciences (Journalism, Audiovisual Communication, Advertising and Public Relations) will be especially valued. In this sense, we are looking for students who have skills that foresee a good disposition for teamwork, have great flexibility and open-mindedness to the incorporation of new knowledge and new ways of working, and that, regardless of what scientific or technical studies they come from, they show a great interest in the humanities in general, and a great sense of social responsibility in professional work.

The admission process to the Master's degree begins by sending the following documentation by post or courier to the Postgraduate Admissions Section:

Completed Admission Application.
Updated Curriculum Vitae.
Photocopy of DNI (only Spanish candidates) or passport (only foreign candidates).
Photocopy of the Academic transcript/record (completed studies or in the last year of the university degree).
Two color, passport-size photographs.

Once the documentation has been received and it has been verified that the diploma submitted grants to the degree, as established in Arts. 15 and 16 of Royal Decree 1393/2007, candidates take the admission test with the coordinator of the degree. This test is carried out in person in Madrid when possible or, failing that, it can also be taken remotely (online) for those candidates residing outside of Spain.

The candidate holds a personal interview with the Program Coordinator. This interview is in itself an admission test in which the specific knowledge of the candidate is evaluated through a battery of questions about the area of knowledge, as well as their level of maturity and attitudes to it. After this interview, the coordinator prepares a report on the candidate's skills profile, his degree of maturity, his personal interest in Audiovisual Journalism and his suitability for the degree, which is attached to the file that the Admissions Commission will assess.

The University Admissions Commission, made up of heads of the Department itself, the General Secretary and the Department of University Development will be in charge of proposing to the Rector of the University the granting of student status to those candidates whose suitability has been proven.

The candidate receives written information about their admission, which is previously provided by phone, about the result of the admission process and formalizing their enrollment in the Program, the definitive documentation, duly legalized, that must be submitted, etc.

Verification versus Disinformation:
The Gaza Conflict

How should data journalists navigate times of war? Is Artificial Intelligence a helpful ally or a hindrance to journalists? What tools does journalism possess to combat the spread of fake news?
These critical questions were addressed by students of the Master's Degree in Digital and Data Journalism on Monday, November 27, during a conference organized by the postgraduate program in the Assembly Hall of Nebrija University's School of Communication and Arts. Moderated by the program director, Celia Sancho Belinchón, a roundtable discussion featuring Alejandro Herrera Díaz, Deputy Director of 20Minutos, and Borja Díaz-Merry, Head of RTVEVerifica, shed light on the tools available to journalists in the fight against misinformation.

During the session, both journalists underscored the importance of verifying information before dissemination, emphasizing the need for journalistic rigor. As Alejandro Herrera aptly stated, "It is better to take a few minutes to confirm the veracity of content than to regret it later."
