Content and Study Plan (Major)

In this joint master's program, you will combine two exciting fields: On the one hand, you will acquire in-depth knowledge in social and communication sciences. On the other hand, you will learn to design, plan, and program digital applications yourself using Unity software.

You will learn to work scientifically, formulate relevant questions, and conduct research. You will summarize your results in scientific papers. These form the basis for practical application: you will design digital applications and bring your data and research results to life – for example, with websites, serious games, 3D, augmented reality, and virtual reality applications, which you will implement yourself using Unity software tools. You will also produce all creative content such as films, texts, graphics, and audio. You will learn all the necessary skills from scratch and step by step during your studies. No prior technical knowledge is required.

During your studies, you will often work together with other students in collaborative studios. This will teach you how to organize and implement projects in teams. You will become an expert in practical application. You will understand how scientifically sound data is generated and will be able to implement it technically in such a way that it can be experienced. Since you are familiar with both worlds, you will be able to take on important interface functions and will be a sought-after employee in numerous industries.

 

Study Plan

The master's program consists of 2 to 3 modules per semester and usually lasts 2 years. It starts with a module focusing on creativity and working techniques. This module teaches social skills that will prepare you optimally for the project work in the "studios".

The master’s degree programme generally lasts four semesters. An individual study workload based on our modular learning programmes can be put together in line with your prior knowledge, work situation and personal circumstances. This will allow you to prepare yourself to successfully pass the semester in a self-directed and guided manner. 

From the second semester, you will be offered so-called studios. Here, you can choose between two different options per mandatory elective module. The studios focus on linking theory and application in selected sub-areas of digital communication and creative media production in networked societies. All studios are held in cooperation with industry partners.
