Important Information

Master "Angewandte Medienforschung"

Anders als die meisten kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Master-Studiengänge konzentriert sich der Master "Angewandte Medienforschung" darauf Theorien, Methoden und Ergebnisse für die Beantwortung von Fragen einzusetzen, die in der Kommunikationspraxis entstehen.

Internships and Stays Abroad

In the bachelor’s and master’s programs, there is the opportunity – or possibly also the requirement – to complete internships or studies abroad and thereby collect new experiences. The goal of this is to further the students both individually and in terms of their studies. Important information about the individual programs (i.e. Erasmus+) can be found here.

Student Counselling

For any questions you may have, the staff of the Institute of Communication Studies are here to help! You can find your specific contact person for your concerns using the overview here. Furthermore, the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences and the TU Dresden offer further counselling opportunities for your studies.

Exams

Here you will find current information about upcoming examinations as well as appointments for post-exam reviews. The examinations are only offered once per year. Separate make-up appointments are not possible. Every test can be (re)taken in the following year.

Studying at the IfK

As an empirical social science, communication science concerns itself with the systematic research of conditions, structures, processes, content, and consequences of public communication, particularly mass media communication. The bachelor’s in Media Research, Media Praxis instructs students in fundamental knowledge about communication science and allows specialization in selected research fields. In addition to training in social scientific research methods and statistical data evaluation, the course of studies also contains a career practical component.

At the center of the master’s in Applied Media Research are empirical methods for researching media and public communication. On the basis of specifically social scientific, psychological, and statistical theories, our graduate students learn essential skills for academic and commercial research.
