From the spread of disinformation to the transformative potential of extended reality, digital media are both driving positive social change and presenting intricate challenges.

The MA MS:DC programme supports students in critically and creatively combining the skills and knowledge needed to engage with digital cultures and media technologies. Thereby, we train reflective, resilient, and forward-looking media professionals and researchers, dedicated to fostering inclusive and sustainable digital cultures.

Are you interested in the following questions? These are examples for issues you will examine in this MA.
  • How can we navigate the ethical challenges of (generative) artificialintelligence?
  • How does digitalisation affect our experiences of reality?
  • What role do social media and digital platforms play in shaping politics, identity, and culture today?
  • How can digital creativity spark new forms of art, activism, and community-building?
  • How do we balance innovation with responsibility in a world driven by algorithms and big data?
  • How can 3D modelling inspire new means of digital storytelling and heritage formation?
