Master of Arts (M.A.)

About the Program

The Master's in Global Communication: Politics and Society is an English-language consecutive degree programme that deals with media systems and communication cultures in international comparison. Traditional research fields of social and political communication as well as media communication are placed in a global perspective. The degree programme is innovative because it does not view communication science issues as isolated national processes, but as "global communication" in the sense of international comparisons. This sharpens the focus on the common communicative challenges of the world. The programme is primarily oriented towards the social sciences, but also takes cultural studies content into account. In addition to scientific analysis and training in qualitative and quantitative methods, students also learn scientific communication counselling.
