You need to obtain 30 credits in each of the four semesters of the degree, totalling 120 credits. Your foundational year, semesters one and two, is based at the University of Aarhus and the Danish School of Media and Journalism. During the second year, semesters three and four, you choose one of four specialisation programmes:
This course focuses on the interplay between journalism and politics in modern democratic societies and the production of political communication. It addresses different models and conceptions of political journalism, the role of journalism in society, ethical considerations, issues of freedom of speech, and the question of what represents “good” political journalism today. The course also explores (non-) government communication, e.g.: how politicians, NGOs, and social movements interact with the media and citizens.
You choose from a range of thematic courses that cover different topics within the field of communication science. These include political marketing, social media and politics, media strategies, media entertainment, corporate communication, public relations and brands and organisations in social media.
Next to writing your thesis, you develop a journalistic product to present the findings of your empirical thesis to a wider audience (e.g. a documentary, news article, website or other media format).
This module starts with thesis preparation groups and a methods course tailored to your thesis. Following this, you develop and carry out your own original research under the experienced guidance of a supervisor. Also, you develop a journalistic end product to present the findings of your empirical thesis to a wider audience (e.g. a documentary, news article, website or other media format).
It is fun to teach active and engaged students with such diverse backgrounds and experiences.Dr. Andreas Schuck about this programme, read more
