Annotation
The course is interdisciplinary between English, German, Romance and media and Communication studies. The focus is on modern literature and media - from the 18th century to the present day. A focus can be set individually: Either by subject or by language and culture. In the end there is a bundle of interfaces between Modern Literature, the media world and practical communication skills. After graduation, our graduates therefore not only work in science, but also in journalism, media production, in literature, as well as in advertising, PR and creative corporate communication.
