Mundus Journalism is committed to making quality education accessible to as many as possible. Their two-year master's program is known for its affordable tuition, setting it apart from journalism programs worldwide. For the 2025-2027 programme, we anticipate that all prospective candidates will qualify for an Erasmus+ stipend of up to €6,000, offering invaluable financial support for your educational journey. Moreover, the Mundus Journalism Consortium extends its support to two exceptional applicants with a special scholarship worth €10,000, further enhancing the opportunities available. What is more, students who receive the Mundus Journalism Consortium scholarship can still apply for and receive an additional Erasmus+ stipend.
But our benefits go beyond financial assistance.
