On Campus
The Erasmus Mundus Master’s in Journalism, Media and Globalisation offers a unique 360° educational experience. Students on the programme study and live in at least two European countries, interact with classmates from all around the world and engage in lively and insightful discussions in a thriving interdisciplinary and intercultural environment.
The MA in Journalism, Media and Globalisation lies at the intersection between social sciences and humanities, combining theoretical and practice-oriented approaches to journalism studies. The fruit of this cross-disciplinary approach is a joint understanding that cuts across academic disciplines, journalistic genres, and geographical and cultural settings.
The degree has been a part of the Erasmus Mundus study programme since 2005 and has continually evolved in order to best prepare graduates for the global changes that increasingly challenge traditional boundaries between media, politics, technology, and culture(s).
STUDY AT LEADING INSTITUTIONS
All students spend their first year jointly between Aarhus University – taught by faculty from the Department of Political Science and the Department of Information and Media Studies – and the highly respected Danish School of Media and Journalism. In year two, the programme splits into four specialisations offered by some of Europe’s leading universities.
By choosing a specific specialisation for the second year of studies, students customise their studies within the following areas:

STUDENT LIFE
As a Mundus Journalism student, you can expect a truly intercultural experience, as the programme brings together students from all around the world to join a tight-knit community of inspired and talented young professionals. So far, students from 105 different countries have joined the programme.
In addition to high-standard academics, the programme also offers a variety of extra-curricular activities and student-led initiatives, almost as varied as the countries students come from. From radio stations to theatre groups, from competitive football teams to start-ups, the opportunities for interaction and idea development within the programme are limitless.
Furthermore, many of our students write, photograph, record, tweet and blog their way through the programme. Some work for media outlets in their home countries, while others develop their own platforms and personal take on journalism. Many students also attend academic conferences and publish journal articles stemming from their work, and others work as freelances for leading news outlets.
CAREERS
Graduates of the MA in Journalism, Media and Globalisation are entering successful and stimulating jobs across the world, often and quickly reaching top positions. Graduates usually find work in the intersection between journalism, media, and communication; they take up roles in newsrooms, international organisations, information-based journalism, or communication departments in various global public and private organisations. Many alumni have also chosen to build their career in public relations and communications in intergovernmental organisations, technology start-ups, and global non-profit companies among others.
The programme's combination of different national research traditions and its emphasis on globalisation open future academic and research opportunities. The Mundus Journalism programme has proved itself to be a unique recruitment ground for PhD programs in Europe and overseas, and some of our PhD candidates have continued their path into academia as associate professors and researchers.
Wherever you want to take your career, you can expect to graduate from the Mundus Journalism programme with an extensive network of professional contacts and friends all around the world who will be willing to support you. In addition, Mundus Journalism has established a Mentorship programme where graduates and alumni are matched according to common interests and professional goals. In this way, graduates can benefit from the support and the guidance of seasoned media professionals and further strengthen and widen their budding network.
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
At the end of the two-years programme, students are awarded a joint degree from Aarhus University and from their specialisation university. Furthermore, 10 students can add another academic experience to their study programme by applying for a ‘Study Abroad experience’ of 30 ECTS at a partner university in the second semester of the first year. The list of Study Abroad universities includes prestigious universities across 6 continents: the University of California Berkeley, California, Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, Fudan University Shanghai, China, the University of Cape Town, South Africa, the University of Hamburg, Germany, or the Lebanese American University, Lebanon.
Another option for students who want to add a more hands-on element to their experience, the programme offers the possibility to carry out a 10 ECTS internship during the second semester.
