BA Media Culture (Medienkultur) at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

The Media Studies Bachelor's takes a broad approach combining media studies, cultural studies and media economics, looking at medial transitions and links to other fields rather than only classic mass media. Students exchange with research institutions such as the IKKM and the Competence Centre for Media Anthropology and can join student initiatives such as a media culture magazine and a film festival.
