- Show real journalism or media work, with links to published pieces if you have them.
- Explain why studying journalism across several countries matters for your career.
- Apply early in the window, not on the last day.
Where will Mundus Journalism students study?
The programme involves required mobility across countries. Aarhus University in Denmark is the main first-year partner, while the programme also includes academic options through its partner institutions in other European countries. Applicants choose a second-year specialisation according to the programme rules. You should check the current mobility choices before assuming you will study in every one of the five advertised cities.

- A bachelor’s degree transcript or current academic record if you are still studying.
- Documents confirming that your degree will be completed by August 1, 2027.
- Evidence of English-language proficiency under the programme’s current admission criteria.
- A CV showing reporting, media work, research or relevant projects.
- A focused explanation of your interest in journalism, media and globalisation, connected to the programme’s teaching and career opportunities.
