Media, Technology & Society
The study programme
Digital media are having an ever greater impact on society. Companies and organizations need to keep pace with the latest trends while trying to think beyond the next hype cycle. Against this background, we see an increasing demand for experts at the interface of media, technology, and society.
In MTS we aim to provide expertise in the development, planning, implementation and evaluation of new forms of communication and media. Steeped in media theory and empirical research, we discuss innovative technology and media formats as well as the ethical dimensions of digitization and sustainable society.
The English-language programme is offered in two variants: three-semester for graduates of relevant seven-semester Bachelor programmes, four-semester for those from six-semester Bachelor programmes. This is preceded by a practical semester.
