Mundus Journalism Erasmus Mundus Master 2027–2029 scholarships

Mundus Journalism is a two-year Erasmus Mundus master's programme that starts at Aarhus University in Denmark and moves to a partner university for the second year. Admission and scholarship consideration run through the same application, so there is no separate scholarship form.

Who can apply

Erasmus Mundus scholarships are open to applicants of all nationalities. You need a bachelor's degree with above-average results, at least three months of full-time journalistic experience and English at CEFR level C1 or above, shown with an accepted test unless you are exempt. You cannot receive a scholarship if you already hold a master's degree of two years or more after a three-year bachelor's, or if you have received an Erasmus Mundus scholarship before. You can still apply as a self-funded student.

What the scholarship covers

Scholarship holders receive a complete waiver of tuition fees for both years, EUR 1,400 per month for up to 24 months and free health and liability insurance. Scholarships go to the highest-ranking candidates, judged on academic performance, journalistic or media experience and the quality of the Application Reflections section of the form.

Where you study

The first year is in Aarhus. For the second year you choose a binding specialisation: Politics and Communication at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Crisis and Conflict at City St George's, University of London in the United Kingdom, Cultures and Contexts at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Germany, or Authoritarianism and Transition at Charles University in Prague, Czechia. English test rules differ between these tracks, so check yours before booking a test.

Deadline and how to apply

Applications open on 1 November 2026 and close on 10 January 2027 at 13:00 Central European Time. You register online with an Aarhus University account, complete the Application Form PDF and upload one application package with your CV, transcripts, proof of journalism experience and language evidence. Only complete applications submitted before the deadline are considered.
