European scholarships for master's degrees in journalism
Posted date: 17 Jan 2022
Journalism is a field that plays an important role in disseminating knowledge about everything that happens in the world. It is unquestionably one of the most prestigious occupations one can pursue. To encourage students' talent and enthusiasm, numerous organizations offer scholarship programmes for high school seniors majoring in journalism. If you want to pursue a postgraduate degree in journalism, this is a fantastic option! The Erasmus Mundus Master's programme in Journalism, Media, and Globalization is now accepting applications from students all around the world, with a limited number of excellent scholarships available. The programme takes place in Europe and is taught in English.
The program and scholarships
The Mundus Journalism Consortium grants a limited number of scholarships of €47,500 to students from non-European Union nations. Students who are not eligible for these scholarships may be considered for other €34,000 awards. Each year, the programme receives approximately 500 applications and admits 80 to 90 students.
How to apply
A bachelor's degree in a related discipline is required for applicants. If you have not yet completed your bachelor's degree, you may apply; however, you must send Aarhus University verification of degree completion before the course begins in September. Candidates must be fluent in English. If you are not a natural English speaker, you need have an IELTS Band score of at least 7.0. This prerequisite may be eliminated if you have recently completed a year or more of study at an English-speaking college or university. However, a waiver is subject to the restrictions of your specialist university for the Mundus journalism programme, as well as visa regulations applicable to your nationality. You would also need to produce an official document showing that English was the medium of instruction at your former institution.
Applicants must have at least three months of full-time journalism experience, thus basic journalistic training is not required. Rather than the ABCs of journalism, the programme focuses on issues and introspective practice. Freelance experience is acceptable provided you can offer proof that your job was full-time, as well as a letter of recommendation from a professional journalist, preferably your editor-in-chief.
Academics from the University and the first-priority specialty university review applications. They assess your application reflections and life experience, in addition to academic merit and journalism experience. The deadline for applications is in January. You should hear from us around March or April. If you are accepted, you must confirm your acceptance within a week.
