Specifically, the Media Studies programme aims at providing knowledge and a variety of theoretical perspectives on the way different media platforms are structured, how they operate and how they relate to each other; how media systems are underpinned politically and economically; and how patterns of media use, production and content develop and change. Students learn to apply and critically reflect on different types of academic research methods on a variety of topics. Moreover, students also get acquainted to the professional fields related to media and develop their professional skills in preparation to media-related internships and jobs.
