Our Study Programs
The Department of Intercultural Communication and Multilingualism Research, part of the Institute of Language, Media Studies and Musicology, offers two bachelors’ programs: Language and Communication in the Globalized Media Society and German as a Second and Foreign Language. Both are offered as a two-subject bachelor's degree program, giving students the opportunity to combine a passion for communication with other areas of interest.
Furthermore, the department IKM is involved in the masters program Linguistics1.
B.A. Language and Communication in the Globalized Media Society
The diversification of our world through the processes of globalization and migration calls for an increased demand for qualified communications experts who possess nuanced linguistic and cultural skills capable of meeting our ever-evolving society’s needs.
Combining theory and practice, the two-subject program “Language and Communication in the Globalized Media Society” prepares its students to work in a multilingual and culturally diverse environment.
