Digital communication has become an incredibly rich and complex phenomenon, and one that is ubiquitous in today's society. It reaches well beyond mass media and large online networks to involve a multitude of participants, interacting with socio-cultural dynamics in a variety of ways. In this program, students will look at some of the many aspects of today's digital cultures, covering such things as digital users, the communities they form and the languages they develop, as well as the ways in which those users create, transform and spread their ideas on- and offline.
This Master's combines theory with hands-on work, giving students the chance to delve into the inner workings of digital media, how they are used, and their social, socio-economic, cultural and political consequences. Students learn the fundamental concepts underlying digital communications and media cultures and also get to do hands-on work by carrying out research projects, working in teams, and producing and analyzing multimedia and other content.
