21bis.be is the website of Thomas More’s Journalism and International Journalism students. Their target group also comprises international students in Flanders, as we have an English language section on the website.
Leading up to the European elections on May 26 2019, our International Journalism students took part in EUFactcheck, together with students from 20 other journalism programmes all over Europe. Also this academic year we are participating in EUFactcheck.
Dreaming of an internship in the heart of Europe? Our students work for English language media such as The Brussels Times, Politico, Reuters,… all located in Brussels. Also outside Brussels, in Belgium or abroad, there are internship opportunities.
Your internship in the third year will take place in an international environment. You can choose between interesting opportunities at international media companies in Brussels, or going further afield and do your internship in other countries, not only in Europe, but also in North or South America, Asia or Africa.
We think personal coaching is very important, so there’s a close dialogue between teachers and students. You get direct feedback on your work and you’re developing a professional attitude. Within the practical courses and projects you work in small groups. Teamwork is an essential part of the study method.
