    • Annotation of the Higher Education Institution The Weimar understanding of the concept of media goes far beyond mass media. In addition to the internet, television and books, the diversity of media studies topics is huge: Animals, screens, games, laboratories or roads – all these are things worth exploring in our everyday study. In Weimar, we are interested in cultural and social design processes that not only take place with media, but also become possible through media. In this sense, you will expand and deepen your scientific skills in the Master's degree programme in Media Studies and develop an independent critical-analytical research profile. Because that is what we at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar value most. Central to the teaching in the Master's degree programme in Media Studies is a lived culture of open thinking characterised by original and unconventional approaches and methods: Group work, film essays, excursions, visits to the cinema, e-learning and a lively discussion culture are part of the study practice.

    Are you Bauhaus?

    Architecture and Urban Studies, Civil Engineering, Art and Design, and Media: the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar has a clear profile. In the sciences and arts, work at the university centres on concept development, construction, and design of contemporary and future living spaces - all with analytical, creative and innovative drive. The spectrum of the four faculties is grounded in a combination of scientific, technical and creative-artistic work. As a link to the roots of the historical Bauhaus school under Walter Gropius, the »Bauhaus« in the university's name stands for experimentation, openness, creativity and internationalism.
