Scholarship for Master in International Media Studies
The Master’s Program International Media Studies is a four-semester,
full-time program for further education. It is a joint project from the
University of Bonn, the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and
Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international broadcaster with its headquarters in
Bonn.
The bilingual Master’s Program offers a unique course offer given the
current development of global media and the connection between media and
cooperative development. Students from around the world will benefit from
the inclusion of partners and the
unparalleled mix of research, lectures and practical experience.
The program combines topics like media and development, journalism,
communication science and media economics, while developing practical skills
and competencies that are important for the world of media.
*Philosophy
*Free and independent media is a significant factor for a functioning
democracy, social justice and the protection of human rights. The Master’s
Program is based on the belief that there is a connection between democracy
and development, between the freedom of opinion and democracy as well as
between free media and development. The prerequisite for the establishment
of a functioning, free media system are journalists who realize their role
as a critical observer and reporter. This can only be guaranteed when they
are professionally trained and feel obligated by a set of journalistic
ethics.
By training journalists academically, the Master’s Program is therefore a
targeted step towards making the media spokespeople for openness within
democracy.
The courses are based on the values of democracy, freedom and conflict
prevention, civil society and good government – representative of the
connection between the media and cooperative development.
*Objective*
Students will acquire the knowledge and skills that are essential for a
journalistic career. They will be able to meet specific occupational
requirements with expertise and communicative independence.
The Master’s Program trains students – personally and professionally – to be
competent journalists and prepare them for a challenging role as expert or
manager in the media sector.
*Target Group*
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.

or equivalent) and have at least one year of professional media experience.
