Students are required to have a Certificate in Journalism and will be able to contribute stories to a new online news website.
The course has received funding from the UN, the US Embassy and the Australian High Commission and will receive lecturer support from Australia's James Cook University.
RNZI reports it's an opportunity not only for students but working journalists who would otherwise have to travel overseas or study online.
Registrations for the course open next week.
