Bachelor’s degree programme Media and Communications

In the Bachelor’s degree Media and Communications, theoretical frameworks as well as practice-oriented and practically relevant methods are taught. The degree programme focuses on the relationship between media, culture, technology and society. Students engage with the complex networking of media, cultural and communicative practices with societal, economic and political processes in everyday and institutional contexts. The location of the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt at the intersection of three cultures plays an important role in this. Students deal with fields of research such as the relationship of media, the public and democracy, media and identity, the economic contexts of media (e.g. the media industry, organisational communication and public relations), the analysis of media and its different uses, media pedagogy, and new information and communication technologies such as the internet as an educational medium (e.g. e-learning).

Master’s degree programme Media and Convergence Management

The degree programme teaches core competencies in the fields of media and communication, management and marketing, and in technology. The degree programme focuses on the areas of technical, media, content and cross-sectoral convergence. Terminal devices such as smart phones and tablet PCs are at the very centre of technical or media convergence. Content convergence revolves around the multiple use of content (e.g. film, PC games, books with similar topics/content), and cross-sectoral convergence is concerned with the blurring of boundaries in the TIMES sector (technology, information, media, entertainment and security). These convergences represent new challenges for companies, with the result that skills in the disciplines of Cultural Studies and Media Sciences, Business Studies and Technical Sciences are rapidly gaining relevance.

Doctoral degree programme Health and Sustainability Communication and Management (HSCM)

The doctoral program “Health and Sustainability Communication and Management (HSCM)” is interdisciplinary and provides the participants with extensive skills in communication and management in the health sector, for the area of sustainability and for assuming social responsibility. Another focus is on the efficient and effective communication of scientific knowledge in the health sector to the general public. By gaining these skills, the participants will find it easier to implement the knowledge gained in the health sector and in companies. Furthermore, the doctoral program allows questions of high social relevance from the fields of Health and Sustainability Communication and Management to be dealt with at an internationally competitive level. The qualifications acquired during the program allow the participants in the doctoral program to publish research results in international journals and to present and discuss them at international conferences. The participants receive thorough training in qualitative and quantitative methods. A research seminar (interaction workshop) is planned for each academic year, during which the doctoral students present the papers they have written and the status of their dissertation.
