The specialized education of international journalism in China dates back to 1982. In 2009, a new stage of China’s international journalism master education started due to the national strategy of enhancing international communication capabilities, featuring five universities including Renmin University of China.

It adopts participatory observation, questionnaire surveys, and semi-structured interviews to study the employment status of graduates of the program in the past ten years and its relationship with the graduates' gender, educational backgrounds, and the educational programs they received at Renmin University of China. The study finds that: when first landing their jobs, nearly half of the graduates entered the media field, and nearly one-third of the graduates entered the six state media outlets of China; the gender, the type of undergraduate university and the field of undergraduate major affected their employment choices and employment stability; the motivation for graduates to choose to engage in international journalism and communication industry is not only their childhood dreams, but also the awareness of mission and the interest in journalism brought by courses and internships.
