Master of Science Programme in Media and Communication Studies

Learn how news is created, the importance of the internet for democracy and the role of television. We examine how attitudes are shaped, culture is produced and how the media influence people's consumption and lifestyle. You will be trained in source criticism, media theory and methods for conducting research, collecting information and analysing information transfer between individuals, groups and cultures. These skills are valuable in all industries. Knowing how to get your message across and how information flows work is indispensable, whether you are an engineer, an economist, a manager or an employee. The Master’s Programme in Media and Communication Studies offers a critical approach to contemporary social, political and cultural issues in media and communications, covering theories of knowledge, power and social relations in national and transnational media environments. A key principle of our education is to train primarily communication analysts and strategists, not information producers.
