Kann ich eine Ausbildung zum Journalisten auch neben meinem jetzigen Beruf absolvieren?

Yes, many journalism courses are designed to run alongside your career, so that you can attend a school or Universities alongside your work. However, you should bear in mind that you will not be able to continue working 100% of the time and that you will have to reduce your working hours in order to attend lectures and tutorials. As some courses also require you to complete a traineeship, i.e. an unpaid or low-paid internship in a media company, you should contact the respective schools and discuss your concerns. They will usually be able to tell you exactly how much learning effort is involved in the individual courses and how much you should continue to work so as not to overload yourself. You can use our contact form to get in touch with the journalism schools or Universities directly to find out more about journalism training and to ask individual questions.
