Bachelor Journalism

The media shape the way we see the world—and here you’ll learn how to actively do that. This degree program teaches journalistic skills and critical thinking, and prepares you for a well-grounded career in media and communications.

Admission & application

To enroll in this degree program, you must submit an application directly through the KU university portal. The application deadline is July 15.

Campus Eichstätt

Eichstätt combines a Baroque old town with canoe trips on the Altmühl River, open-air movies in the summer, and festivals such as the Altstadtfest and the Lichternacht—here, everyday student life meets a genuine zest for life.

Accommodation and living

Finding a place to live is part of planning for uni – whether it’s a dorm, a shared apartment, or your own apartment. Anyone coming to Eichstätt or Ingolstadt to attend uni should start looking for housing early.

Financing your studies

Students at the KU finance their studies in various ways – from BAföG to scholarships to part-time jobs. You can find an overview of all the options on the page about financing your studies.

Uni life

Whether it's culture or sports, the academic year is filled with a wide variety of festivals and events. Unifest, Dies Academicus, the Wiesncup, and many more: at the KU, celebrating and community are an integral part of student life.
