Journalism, Media and Globalisation (Erasmus Mundus Master's)
Globalisation is penetrating cultural and social borders around the world and simultaneously reinvigorating smaller-scale, regional feelings of local identity. Political and social power are taking on new dimensions, and intercultural awareness is growing. This programme explores the role that journalism plays in these changes. The degree scheme brings together five leading European institutions in journalism and media education, combining the best academic research and teaching from the different national educational cultures.
