Society, Communication and Media (SCM)

The programme is designed to offer in-depth knowledge of the field of mass media and sociology. It is taught by members of the Institute of Sociological Studies (ISS) and the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism (ICSJ). The programme focuses on the study of society and its representation in the sphere of the media. It develops the methodological and analytical skills of students in a wide range of modern applications within sociology and media studies. On the one hand, the curriculum is oriented on sociological and media theory and on the other hand, more profound knowledge and skills in the field of empirical research methodology are provided. Both quantitative and qualitative analytical research methods are presented.

Important note for visa-seeking students: Please read about the visa process carefully before applying.
