DW Akademie International media studies scholarship 2016

DW Akademie is accepting applications for its International Media Studies program (IMS) in Bonn, Germany. Students who successfully complete the four-semester program will be awarded a master of arts degree. The program offers a mix of research, lectures and practical experience and combines these disciplines: media and development, journalism, communications and media management.

The program is targeted at students from around the world that want to work in a position of responsibility in journalism or the communications sector. It especially addresses journalists-in-training, media representatives from radio, TV, online and print and communication experts. As media become increasingly set in a global context it’s important that media professionals understand the close connection between the media and development cooperation.

Those interested must have completed an academic program (bachelor’s degree or equivalent) and have acquired at least one year of professional experience in a media-related field after their first degree. The program is bilingual (English and German), whereby English is the prevalent course language.

For the Master’s Program, applicants should have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, more than one year of professional experience in a media-related field and communication skills in German and English.
