Media, Culture & Society

Maybe you’ve completed an academic bachelor’s degree in a field different than Media Studies and miss certain theoretical knowledge. Or you may not meet all the requirements, for example after finishing a bachelor’s degree at a university of applied sciences (hbo). In that case, the pre-master Media Studies is the right choice for you. 

After a successful completion of the pre-master, you will have all the knowledge you will need to meet the requirements of the master Media Studies specialisation Media, Culture & Society. Students who successfully finish the pre-master will have direct access to the master specialisation.

Bridging the knowledge gap

The step to a research university such as Erasmus University Rotterdam can be quite big. There are more reading materials, which are of higher complexity than what you might be used to. You are expected to work more independently and conduct your own research projects.

During the one-year pre-master programme you develop the right skills to get access to the Media Studies master specialisation Media, Culture & Society. You will enrol in selected courses at the undergraduate level. You will become acquainted with key concepts and approaches in media and communication studies and the social sciences.
