W School of Journalism and Communication

The W School of Journalism and Mass Communication, or commonly the École W, is a private constituent college of Paris-Panthéon-Assas University, created by the CFJ Graduate School of Journalism, the university's prestigious journalism school, in 2016 and located in Paris, France. The university college aims to train students to create content for journalism, communication and the arts industry, inspired by the Danish alternative business school Kaospilot.

The W School offers preparation for the French competitive entrance exams to journalism graduate schools, combined with multi-disciplinary, generalist training in the humanities and social sciences (arts, photography, scriptwriting, management, etc.) and in information and communication sciences (journalism, corporate communication, communication and graphic industries, etc.). The school is in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, on the same campus as its ‘’older‘’ sister school, the CFJ.

The school also offers partnership courses leading to national diplomas: a bachelor's degree in science journalism with the Sorbonne Faculty of Science and Engineering, a double International BBA diploma with EDHEC Business School and a master's degree in documentary and fiction film with the Panthéon-Assas University and the French National Audiovisual Institute (INA). The school is also a member, along with the CFJ, of the Information and Networks department of Paris-Panthéon-Assas University, the Google News Initiative University Network of journalism schools and the Cumulus Association, an international alliance of art, design and media universities.
