This programme is only offered in Danish.
Society acknowledges and increasingly demands good communication skills. Companies, organisations and public sector workplaces endeavour to communicate in an environment that is becoming more and more competitive. They need employees who know how to convey sophisticated messages about specialist topics in a manner that is easily understood.
The supplementary subject in journalistic communication strengthens your ability to select and work with specialist material and to communicate it in such a way that it arouses interest and is easy to understand. The degree programme has both a practical and a more theoretical aim. On the one hand, you learn to use journalistic tools such as media releases, web sites and newsletters in a natural way and on the other hand, you gain a theoretical understanding of media-related and societal issues.
The supplementary subject equals a total of 60 ECTS credits. Your studies are divided between the Danish School of Journalism, where you spend the first term, and the Institute of Information and Media Studies at the University of Aarhus, where you spend the spring term. In this way, you get to see journalism from both a practical and a media-theoretical perspective.
In order to be admitted to a supplementary subject, you have to be enrolled in a bachelor’s degree programme at a Danish university. Furthermore, the academic regulations of the bachelor’s degree programme have to allow for a combination with a supplementary subject.
