About Digital Media, Culture, and Communication, BA - at University of Klagenfurt
Few things change as rapidly as the world of digital media and communication. Algorithms determine which messages reach us. We use apps to monitor our fitness and learn languages with the help of digital tools. If you want to convey powerful messages, call people to action, and promote products, you need digital media. Study the English-language Bachelor's programme in Digital Media, Culture, and Communication DMC2 and become a globally deployable all-rounder!
To ensure you are well equipped for everything that lies ahead in this exciting and inspiring industry, you need a strong foundation. You will get this with the scientific and theoretical basis of this degree programme.
You will gain a practical understanding of how digital media work. We will help you understand the underlying logic of platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and how they operate. Together, we will investigate how key topics such as sustainability or health can lead to success in the competition for attention.
You will discover how companies and NGOs can leverage the advantages of digital media using strategic communication: by spreading content virally and using networks to amplify their messages. We all leave data trails when we navigate the digital space. This means that we increasingly need experts to interpret and analyse this data. Here, you will gain the skills you need.
Together, we ask ourselves: What is the significance of these digital forms of communication for the development of our society? And are things good as they are, for you and for us as a community and a democracy?
