Modular course of studies

The course contents are divided into modules, which bring together a number of related courses and subjects.

There are three module types:

  • Project modules A project module generally comprises four courses (e.g. one lecture, two seminars and one colloquium), each of which is worth 3 ECTS credit points. These courses deal in detail with the same subject from a variety of perspectives. Each project module is thus worth 12 ECTS in total. In addition to the compulsory project modules Economic Theories and Applied Empirical Research from the first semester, students must also take two of the three project modules in Media Management, Media Economics and Marketing und Media.
  • Study modules A study module comprises two courses (e.g. one lecture and one seminar), each of which is worth 3 ECTS credit points. Each study module is thus worth 6 ECTS in total. Media Law I & II and the Master’s Colloquium are compulsory. In addition, three study modules may be selected from the following list: Media Management, Media Economics and Media in the Economy, Marketing and Media, International Management and Media and Investment and Financing of Media Enterprises. 
  • Optional modules Further courses can be selected freely from the Faculty curriculum, as well as from various collaborative inter-faculty programmes Optional modules are worth 6 ECTS credit points each.

Further details of the programme can be found in the curricula and the course catalogue.
