Welcome to the Danish School of Media and Journalism A warm welcome to the Danish School of Media and Journalism (DMJX) and a new international environment that hopefully will give you both professional and social challenges over the next semester. Our greatest satisfaction results from the evaluations when we see that students have moved to a higher understanding of both subject of study and themselves. DMJX has a variety of permanent staff and both national and international guest lecturers from the media. Furthermore, DMJX prioritize to have strategic partnerships with the best journalism schools around the world. In cooperation with strategic partners, DMJX is European coordinator for projects from EU programs like the EU-New Zealand and the Erasmus Mundus Programmes, and have a broad partnership with Erasmus bilateral agreements. These activities have helped to sponsor course development and the exchange of both teachers and students. The Nordic roots are developed through partnerships with journalism schools from the Nordic countries. We look forward to having you as a student for the next semester, and hope you will grab the opportunity to be part of a both national and international environment, and form a network which will be a benefit for your future life as a journalist or within communication, being part of a strong alumni after you have left DMJX. As we hopefully contribute to your process of getting a better understanding of journalism and communication in an international environment, we do hope you will contribute to the ongoing process of maintaining the high quality international journalism education at DMJX.
