A historical scribe
The Danish School of Media and
Journalism was formed in 2008 by a merger between
- the Graphics Art
Institute of Denmark
- the Danish School of Journalism/UPDATE
The
merger of the three educational establishments means that the school now covers
the whole media sector and provides design and content to the media industry, as
well as giving students and teachers the opportunity to exchange knowledge and
experience of the media sector across specialist groups.
The
Graphics Art Institute of Denmark
Founded in 1943 with the objective of
creating a theoretical education for future graphic managers. For many years,
its training courses have been focussed on economics and technology, but since
the 1990s digital and print media have played a larger part in the training
which has today developed into the existing Bachelor degrees in Media Production
and Management.
In 1956, a new stream was launched: Special studies in
Graphic Design. The special study course puts most initial emphasis on book
presentation, but moves on to include many other graphic design processes in
both print and digital media. Over the years, the course has developed into a
Bachelor degree course in Graphic Communications.
At the suggestion of
the TV and media industries, the Bachelor course in TV and Media Planning was
added to the school s full-time courses in 2006.
In order to meet the
increasing need for specialist staff in the media industry, Graphic
Communications was divided into three streams in 2007: Graphic Design,
Interactive Design and Creative Communication.
The Bachelor courses in
Graphic Communications, Media Production and Management as well as TV and Media
Planning are offered in Copenhagen.
The Danish School of
Journalism
Established in 1962 as the officially designated vocational
training course for journalists in Denmark. As part of the three-year master
course, six months at the School of Journalism is compulsory for all masters
trainee journalists.
In 1971, the first class of journalism students
started the current form of training: a four-year BA course of education with
practical training. Students are selected by an anonymous entrance
test.
In 1992, the four year BA course of photojournalism was started.
Part of this course is taught together with the BA in journalism.
Both
journalism and photojournalism have been internationally oriented for a long
time. The very first international programme Europe in the World started in
1990, and have been followed by four international semester programmes in
photojournalism, TV journalism and multimedia journalism.
In 2004 the
Danish School of Journalism in a cooperation with Aarhus University and four
European Universities was granted the Erasmus Mundus Masters stamp with the
Erasmus Mundus Masters Journalism, Media and Globalization.
This global
start was followed by two national masters courses in journalism offered by the
Danish School of Journalism and Aarhus University with the degree issued by
Aarhus University.
The Danish School of Journalism has for more than 15
years conducted and participated in projects to support the development of a
professional and independent media, journalism education and, mid-career
training in third world and transition countries.
Courses at BA level
are offered in Aarhus. |
