    Media Studies

  • Field of study
    • Target group The Mainz Master’s degree course in Film Studies is unique at German universities. It provides in-depth knowledge of the History, Aesthetics and theory of audiovisual media with a clear specialisation towards film Supported by practical media work, it enables critically reflective recording and modelling of the current forms of international media culture. The Master's degree course deals with the history, theory and aesthetics of feature films, documentaries or animated films in cinema and television as well as the cinematic forms of new media, while integrating research into film studies. As a consecutive course, the Master's degree in Film Studies deepens the skills in: analytical application of media history, theory, cultural theory as well as methodology and terminology of Film Studies under reflected hermeneutic premises to the concrete audiovisual material of the film. To critically assess sources, media phenomena and theoretical positions and to relate them in an analytical and results-oriented manner using analytical and methodological signs according to scientific and labour-economic standards. To reflect on media objects of investigation from multiple perspectives and to formulate questions according to scientific standards. To reflect on film aesthetics in cultural and historical change and in the context of cultural and media-specific genres as well as to process them micro- and macro-analytically. This gives students the opportunity to continue their training in a Film or Media Science Bachelor's degree in a discipline that is oriented towards Art and Cultural Studies. After completing the two-year course, the graduates should be prepared for a job that requires flexible skills in dealing with audiovisual media.
