About the Program

Understanding the reality of "digital cultures" in its dynamics and consequences is one of the most urgent tasks of our time.

They have thus fundamentally changed the perception of the past, the aesthetic forms of communication, the concepts of our thinking and the ways we live together. In the Master's programme Media and Digital Cultures, you will learn how to engage with complex topics in a way that is precise in terms of content, historically reflective, and technically and methodically trained, thereby creating opportunities for the present and the future. The programme imparts the tools of thought and analysis of the humanities and social sciences to intellectually grasp digital cultures and act within them in a reflective way. These include historical and philosophical as well as aesthetic and sociological expertise.
