Applied Media Communication German-French (Bachelor's) Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau - University of Applied Sciences Zwickau

Université Grenoble Alpes

Courses will be held mostly in German (40%) and in French (40%). A smaller percentage of classes (20%) will be held in English. 

The interdisciplinary-oriented joint degree in Applied Media Communication comprises contents from different disciplines. Besides modules providing knowledge on the theoretical background as well as on empirical phenomena of media communication in France and in Germany, the students are offered classes in intercultural communication, allowing them to better understand the methodological background of contrastive media studies.

As media communication nowadays is strongly multilingual, students do not only participate in French and German language courses but also in English modules. These English modules put the focus on relevant topics such as public relations, the language of advertising or the structure of anglophone societies, to name only a few. The language courses in French and German familiarise the students with the key characteristics of languages for specific purposes, in particular the language of economics and law.

The joint degree also integrates courses in social sciences, economics and international law.

The courses are strongly interactive, enhancing the dialogue and critical discussion between teachers and the students. The contents follow a progression throughout the semesters. The partner universities conceive their courses in the way that the two student groups will have the same competence level after the first year of studies.

A large part of the courses will be project oriented. The students will have to work on small media projects, guided by their teachers.
