They’re thrilled to once again offer Erasmus Mundus Scholarships for the 2026–2028 programme and the following three intakes. These prestigious scholarships recognize applicants who excel across all selection criteria—combining academic ability, journalistic experience, and thoughtful, well-developed Application Reflections.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Mundus Journalism Consortium aims to admit highly qualified students from a wide range of academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds. Our goal is to ensure that the programme benefits from a diverse and talented student body.

The admission process is designed to ensure a fair and transparent evaluation of all applicants. Each application is reviewed by the Erasmus Mundus Selection Committee, composed of academics from the degree-awarding universities. Applications are assessed in detail by the university hosting the applicant’s chosen second-year specialisation.

To ensure that the strongest candidates are admitted, priority is given to academic merit. Candidates must demonstrate above-average academic performance in their undergraduate studies to be considered. The Committee conducts a holistic review of each application, assessing:
Academic background and academic merit
Quality of journalistic experience
Quality and depth of the Application Reflections (without using AI)
Potential to successfully complete the degree and contribute meaningfully to the global journalism field after graduation
