What you will study

According to the two-subject bachelor’s program which is structured in compliance with the so-called ‘Equal Model’ and which will be introduced at the University of Bremen in winter term 2011/12, the BA Communication and Media Studies is studied in combination with another BA program (please see also: “Combination of Programs”) either as major including a profiling focus and an amount of 120 CP or as minor without the profiling focus and with an amount of 60 CP. Keeping in mind the second BA program respectively as well as phases of practical training and examination, both study variants are, according to the current Common Examination Regulation of the University of Bremen, to be studied within a standard period of study of three years / six semesters and only possible as full-time study.

Career pathways

The analytical orientation and interdisciplinarity of the BA Communication and Media Studies advocate and challenge ‘allrounders’ with integrative skills who are able to think their way into intersections between different media-related fields of activity and application. The interlocking of a fundamental education in communication and media studies and media-related practical projects provides students with the methodic and analytical equipment while a setting of priorities towards one of the profiling foci ‘media analysis’ or ‘media practice’ will be enabled with regard to personal affinities and interests.
