Quintus Scholars’ Journalism, Media & Digital Influence programme is a two-week academic summer school for ages 13-18, delivered across two cities. It focuses on investigative journalism, structured debate and the mechanics of digital influence, with a strong emphasis on asking difficult questions, testing claims and communicating with precision.
Students work through editorial seminars, investigation and writing sessions, and evening activities that bring journalism to life in practice. The curriculum covers news judgement, investigative methodology, verification and misinformation, digital journalism and audience strategy, broadcast and multimedia storytelling, and media ethics and press freedom.
Participants also take part in a formal debate tournament and produce written and digital work to a high standard.
The programme is designed to be challenging and highly supported, with direct editorial feedback from working journalists and coaching that helps students strengthen their thinking, argumentation and research skills. By the end of the course, students complete assessed work that can be used as a meaningful academic and university-facing achievement.
