Overview

The Journalism, Media and Globalisation (Erasmus Mundus) programme at Aarhus University combines social sciences and humanities, merging theoretical and practice-orientated approaches to journalism studies. This cross-disciplinary focus fosters a joint understanding that bridges academic disciplines, journalistic genres, and cultural settings.

During this programme you will study and live in at least two European countries, engaging with peers from around the world in a thriving interdisciplinary and intercultural environment.

In the first year you will study at Aarhus University and the Danish School of Media and Journalism. In the second year of studies, you can customise your studies within one of the following areas:

Politics and Communication at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Totalitarianism and Transition at Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic

Crisis and Conflict, University of London in the United Kingdom

Cultures and Contexts at The University of Munich, Germany

Career

Graduates pursue careers as journalists, communication specialists, media advisors, PR consultants, and researchers, working in newsrooms, global organisations, start-ups, non-profits, and academia, with strong networks and mentorship support worldwide.
