Details</span></u></b><br>
<span style="font-size:13.0pt">The Master’s program "Global
Communication: Politics and Society" is a predominantly English
language consecutive degree dealing with media systems and
communication cultures in international comparison. <br>
The world as a whole is currently facing similar communicative
challenges. What role do the media play in contemporary
democracies, in political transformation, in war or crises in
different regions of the world? Is today’s media society
globally oriented or do modern media help to reproduce old
stereotypes and heat up racism through hate speech? Does
humankind from the US and Europe to Asia, Africa and Latin
America share a common vision of an “information society”? The
program also addresses the individual psychological processing
of media, the effectiveness of media content, and current
transformations in media production and media use. Mass media as
well as social media and interpersonal communication are
subjected to academic research. </span><span
style="font-size:13.0pt"><br>
The MA program 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
globalization of everyday lifeworlds are analyzed. Besides
developing academic research skills and learning quantitative
and qualitative empirical methods, students will acquire
knowledge of academic communication consultancy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><u><span
style="font-size:13.0pt">Language Proficiency</span></u></b><br>
<span style="font-size:13.0pt">The core curriculum will be taught
in English. Therefore, very good English proficiency is required
in order to successfully follow the program. Students from
abroad who are unable to speak German language should study
German before and during their studies so that they can benefit
from additional courses that are taught in German and which
complement the core curriculum. <br>
