General description

Cultural Studies examines culture in daily life, including the literatures and media present in people’s everyday lives. An interdisciplinary subject at the interface of the humanities and social sciences, cultural studies draws on their theories and works primarily with qualitative methods. The study program equips students for differentiated work in cultural, literary, and media analysis. It helps create a deeper understanding of cultural and social phenomena, and promotes culture mediation and knowledge transfer skills. Those completing the program demonstrate the ability to work on a research-oriented, theoretically and empirically founded, practical basis. They can design and realize projects independently, and translate and communicate the findings of cultural studies.
