Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau Freiburg im Breisgau · Baden-Württemberg

About the Program

The degree program combines cultural and literary studies with media studies and independent creative work. Students receive the theoretical and historical grounding necessary for reflecting on the ever-changing role of media in modern society. In addition, they receive training in analyzing content transmitted through the media (from texts and classical audiovisual mass media to the multimedia formats of the "new media"), also as a starting point for creating their own media content. The program strikes a balance between theoretical competence and practical skills, with the practical side covered explicitly in two practical media modules and a mandatory internship in media management. The infrastructure for the practical component is provided by the university's own New Media Center.
