Communication and knowledge transfer with digital media

Much of what we used to do offline is increasingly shifting to the digital space. An almost unmanageable variety of websites, platforms, apps and social networks makes it possible: informing, learning, exchanging, communicating, collaborating. All of this would be hard to imagine without the Internet. The Bachelor's degree in Communication, Knowledge, Media sees this as a great opportunity and trains young people to become experts in communication and knowledge transfer on the Internet. They can design web applications, implement them technically and adapt them to the needs of users. They understand how to design digital media content and use it successfully in communication, learning and work processes. Equipped with sound technical and social science skills, our graduates are in demand on the job market because they are able to understand digital media holistically and design it proactively.
