Project Summary

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s in Journalism, Media and Globalisation is a cultural immersion and learning
experience like no other. Mundus Journalism is a 2-year master's degree that offers a unique educational
experience within a truly global cohort of students. Students learn to combine academic, theoretical knowledge
with journalistic skills, and to analyse, interpret and generate knowledge about the global changes that
increasingly challenge traditional boundaries between media, politics, technology and culture. Students will be
awarded a joint Erasmus Mundus Masters of Arts degree in Journalism Media and Globalisation. All students will
be studying and living in at least two European countries. All students spend their first year jointly between
Aarhus University and the Danish School of Media and Journalism. In year two, the programme splits into four
specialisations offered by some of Europe’s leading universities. This allows students to customise their studies in
the following areas: • Politics and Communication (University of Amsterdam) • Business and Innovation (City,
University of London) • Totalitarianism and Transition (Charles University, Prague) • Cultures and Contexts
(Ludwig Maximilian University Munich) expected from 2022 intake. Students who wish to study in 3 different
countries have the opportunity to spend their second semester at one of the following universities:• University of
California at Berkeley (Berkeley) • Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (Santiago) • University of Technology
Sydney (Sydney) • University of Cape Town (Cape Town) • Fudan University (Shanghai) • University of Hamburg
(Hamburg) • Lebanese American University (Beirut). By focusing specifically on the societal, market and
technological aspects of journalism, the programme addresses not only news output, but the sustainability and
working practices of those who provide it. In disseminating these contemporary perspectives, the curriculum is
refined based on wide stakeholder feedback to ensure that Mundus Journalism graduates are well equipped –
perhaps the best equipped – to perpetuate the highest standards of global journalism. The strong team of
degree-awarding and credit awarding partners, with affiliated media partners providing internships, offers a
comprehensive menu of choice to ensure that our programme remains a premium brand for all involved. In a
world where journalism is often accused of being ‘fake’ and producing content that does not meet its traditionally
noble aims. We believe that Mundus Journalism embraces the notion that such perceived deficiencies can be
addressed by the encouragement and nurturing of a bright young talent pool that understand the cultural and
operational benefits of globalisation, and that leave our programme with new knowledge, perspectives and
networks that will contribute to re-establishing the profession as a crucial force for good.
