Four Reasons to choose this Master's Program
Course Description
The Master’s program in MediaEcologies, taught in English, is a subject- and theory-driven academic course. It explores media as ecologies—not just as individual entities like radio, television, or computers, but as interconnected networks and environments.
At the same time, it explores the fact that ecological knowledge, ecological awareness and ecological perception are always based on media-related and mediatised matters That is, it demonstrates that “the” media are what make the problem of the environment recognizable in the first place - from photographs of the Blue Planet, by way of maps, graphs and curves, to computer models of climate development. The course therefore shows not only media as ecology, but also the important, if not decisive, role that the media play in ecology.
The thematic focus is thus on issues not only of climate change, but also of digitalisation, updating the past and anticipating the future, always within the framework of the interests of students and teachers.
The programme is aimed at graduates of relevant Media Culture and Media Studies degree programmes who can be assumed already to have acquired a broad theoretical and methodological knowledge of the subject. This will provide a sound basis for them to be able to develop specialised consideration, investigation and practical application of media as ecology and the media in ecology, especially within the framework of Media Studies.
