What you'll work on
Key topics and competencies students will acquire and develop during their learning journey.
Write Like a Professional Journalist
Learn to craft clear, concise, and analytical articles in the distinctive style of the Financial Times. You will practice developing headlines, writing strong leads, and structuring an article to balance facts with global context.
Apply Editorial Judgment & Critical Thinking
Step into the role of an FT journalist and make decisions about which global stories matter most, why they are timely, and how to frame them responsibly. You will weigh evidence, identify risks of bias, and defend your editorial choices.
Communicate with Impact Through Research & Presentation
Research data, fact-check sources, and present your story through a professional pitch to FT "editors." You will practice defending your work under questioning and presenting ideas clearly and confidently.
Discover Your Weekly Program Journey
A 4-week roadmap to define each stage of a virtual work-experience program.
Get introduced to the program, your mentors, and the company. You will learn how it operates and begin preliminary research on the program project.
You will obtain all the required skills to complete the project. Through a series of skills lectures you will get a fully immersive learning experience and all the adequate skills.
You are now equipped with the adequate skillset to complete the program. Applying your knowledge onto the project in the context of the FT and working as a team is the focus.
