The Master’s programme “Global Communication: Politics and Society” is a predominantly English language consecutive degree dealing with media systems and communication cultures in international comparison.
Classical fields of research in social and political communication as well as media communication are framed in a global perspective. The Master's programme is innovative in that it considers global communication through international comparison rather than as isolated national processes. Moreover, international cross-border communication, foreign news reporting, and the globalisation of everyday environments are analysed. As a result, sensitivity for the common communicative challenges of the world is growing.
Exemplary issues and fields of application are:
While the programme is primarily oriented towards the social sciences, it also takes approaches from the field of cultural studies into account. Besides developing academic research skills and learning quantitative and qualitative empirical methods, students will acquire knowledge of academic communication consultancy in dedicated teaching units.
The Master's programme "Global Communication: Politics and Society" prepares students to work in the professional fields of academic or commercial social research, market analysis, and media research. Moreover, students will be qualified to work in various professions in the fields of journalism, public relations, and academic communication consultancy for politics and society, for example, in government bodies, foundations, and NGOs. Due to the research-oriented specialisation, students may also choose to pursue an academic career. For this purpose, the programme provides an optional “fast track” programme for PhD students. Owing to the focus on global comparative research perspectives and consultancy skills in international contexts, the programme opens up further professional fields at home and abroad.
Academic admission requirements
The prerequisite for admission to the programme is a relevant Bachelor's degree in the area of media and communication studies or journalism studies. If students have a degree in another subject area within the social sciences, proof of basic knowledge of media and communication theories and subjects is required. Furthermore, prior knowledge of empirical methods is necessary (12 ECTS). Admission to study in the programme requires successful participation in the selection procedure, which includes a personal interview.
Language requirements
Very good English proficiency is required:
Equally accepted standards are:
The Master's programme "Global Communication: Politics and Society" consists of one mandatory introductory module in the first semester that covers both the theories and methods of global comparative media and communication research. In the second and third semesters, students choose four optional compulsory modules in the fields of a) politics, b) society, and c) media as well as two optional modules in empirical methods. An accompanying multi-semester module introduces communication consultancy, including an internship at home or abroad. The fourth semester will be devoted to the Master’s thesis, which will be presented in a colloquium.
