Description
The Erasmus Mundus Journalism Master’s is a two-year, truly transnational degree providing a solid foundation for analysing and reporting global changes. Building on journalistic skills, the degree offers a unique combination of journalism, media studies and the social sciences. An international consortium of universities and media outlets work closely together to run the Mundus Journalism programme
During the programme, Mundus Journalism students will study in two European countries, with an option to spend part of the first year at a non-EU partner university. After the foundation year, students choose one of four specialisms that blend analysis and journalism in various ways:
- Communicating Europe (University of Amsterdam)
- Multimedia Business Reporting (City University London)
- Journalism and Media Across Cultures (University of Hamburg)
- War and Conflict (Swansea University)
The Mundus Journalism Consortium is able to offer a limited number of ‘Erasmus Mundus’ student scholarships for students entering the programme from 2012 – 2016. The scholarships are divided into category A and B.
