What is it about?

If you want to work in cultural journalism, you have to keep a cool head in the stream of data and languages, symbols and artistic forms of expression. Attitude and curiosity, speed and humour, creativity and unlimited thinking are required to untangle the linguistic confusion of our present. The Master's programme, which was launched in 2023, provides comprehensive preparation for these requirements, both in terms of skill as well as media and cultural analysis.

“Everyone is talking. In foyers, tweets and talk shows. About world views, opinions and positions. Everyone is talking – and cultural journalists are talking non-stop. They inspire, moderate and criticise the debates in society.”
