Applicant profile

The Dual Degree Programme in Journalism and Media Studies is the ideal degree for talented students who are interested in and curious about the phenomenon of communication in its multiple facets. Students who start this course should be strongly motivated to learn about the society surrounding them and keen to tell others about it. Journalism means understanding the world and explaining it to others, giving them the keys which explain events.

The curriculum offers a multi-disciplinary and updated approach to different areas of communication, ranging from audience research to film theory, from video games to digital culture to the written and digital press. It will foster critical spirit, creativity and teamwork, and will encourage spaces for debate with academia and the professional world so that students can maintain a close link to the professional and research spheres.
