What we offer

In the Mundus Journalism consortium we will do everything we can to make you feel welcome and make your cultural and educational transition to our universities as smooth as possible.

At Aarhus University – where all students will start their Mundus programme – we have established a Mundus Journalism Consortium Service Centre, where we respond to all inquiries within 2-3 days. The Service Centre covers issues related to the academic programme, the application and selection procedure, language proficiency, visas and accommodation and any other issue you might have both before applying for the programme and after the enrolment offer.

At each of the Mundus Journalism universities, Mundus staff has been appointed to take special care of the Mundus Journalism students throughout the programme.

The programme offers

• Full process visa support,
• Housing facilities at each university,
• Insurance support,
• Bank assistance,
• Mentor support by both national students and academic staff,
• Services for students with a family or with special needs.

Visa assistance for non-EU students

The Service Centre will help you in every step of the visa process. When you have confirmed enrolment, you will receive all the needed visa documents by courier mail from Aarhus University and within your first year of studies, you will be guided trough the application process for the your specialism country.

Accommodation service

All universities offer accommodation services and at most universities there will be a housing guarantee if the housing application is received before a certain deadline. You can choose to live in residences; in shared facility houses, or in rooms to sublet according to your taste and financial situation.

Student and academic mentors

Before arrival in Aarhus you will be assigned a student mentor, a fellow national student, who ensures that you are welcomed and settled into your accommodation and are assisted with both practical and social matters.

Each university appoints Mundus Journalism staff to do coaching and counseling on academic and social matters. This can include personal tutoring and career guidance.

Introduction programme

At each of our universities an introduction programme is arranged, introducing the Mundus group to the new university and the new study culture. The introduction programme includes a survival language course in the national language as well an introduction to the academic programme, extra curricular activities and the various student support facilities.

Communication and networks

Prior to course start you will receive newsletters regularly and information with specific interest for you. A Mundus Journalism facebook group is set up and so far the facebook group develops the Mundus Journalism network to the extent that the students, when they have arrived for course start, are already close acquaintances/colleagues and some have even been visiting each other in their home countries prior to departure. The mentor students are also connected to this facebook group, which means that the integration within the student community is also at an advanced level at course start.

LinkedIN

You can watch the network of Mundusians grow at our Linkedin.com group where most of our current students and alumni have signed up.
