Study objectives
The aim of the Master's degree programme is to impart advanced media studies skills that are required for subsequent professional activities - for example in editorial areas or in cultural and media management - as well as for further academic qualification (doctorate).
Graduates of the Master's degree programme in media theory and comparative media studies are able to independently analyse advanced scientific problems, design suitable solutions, document them, reflect on them and develop them further by mastering relevant subject-specific methods. In particular, they can analyse and compare different concepts of the media using media and discourse analysis methods and systematically record media, their content and cultural contexts. Graduates are able to realise independent research projects in an area of media studies and to document, present and defend the results.
