Requirements

Required

• Education: A bachelor's degree of at least three years of full-time study, approved by Aarhus University and your Year 2 university. Arts, humanities and social science degrees count as relevant.

• Grades: An above-average bachelor's degree.

• Final-year students: You can apply, but you must send proof of your degree by 1 August 2027.

• Journalism experience: At least three months of full-time journalistic work. Internships and unpaid work can count. You must provide proof, such as a contract, payslips or an editor's letter.

• English: CEFR C1 level. Most applicants need an official test. IELTS Academic 7.0 and TOEFL iBT 100 are the usual minimums, and each Year 2 university sets its own sub-score and test rules.

• Passport: A scan of your passport must be uploaded.

Scholarship Eligibility Rules

• You cannot get the scholarship if you already hold a master's degree of two years or more (after a three-year bachelor's).

• You cannot get it if you have had an Erasmus Mundus scholarship before.

• People who are not eligible can still apply as self-funded students.

Good to Know

• Applicants with more, or more conventional, journalism experience may have an advantage.

• Nationals of most African countries are not exempt from the English test. The Charles University (Prague) track may consider an exemption if your degree was fully taught in English.
