Digital Communication Environments MA
The master’s programme offers three areas in which the students can improve their skills over the course of four semesters: 1. Improving the experimental and reflective practice in designing visual messages for analogue and digital communication environments. 2. Getting acquainted with research methods from design-oriented research and experimental exploration of new technologies to empirical evaluation. 3. Getting an overview of relevant positions in visual, media and communication theory as well as philosophy, anthropology and psychology in order to critically put design decisions, concepts and research questions into context. On the basis of a practical foundation in a design-oriented bachelor’s study programme or a theory-oriented bachelor’s degree in cultural studies, the main goal of the study programme is a complementary fusion of skills between design and communication practice, research and theory.
