Media studies
The graduate has the necessary knowledge and has developed independent professional, creative and critical thinking in the areas of creation, distribution, reception and impact of media products, (mass-)media research and marketing strategies. Interdisciplinary profiled studies and possibilities of specialization ensure versatility and flexibility of graduates as a prerequisite for their application and saturation of the requirements of social practice. Following the first level of studies, the abilities of independent creation and critical deconstruction of media and marketing messages are developed. The graduate has a deeper understanding of the conditions of (mass-)media and marketing production and distribution (socio-cultural, political, legal, ethical, economic, technological, institutional, professional) with an emphasis on their understanding in a socio-cultural context influenced by globalisation processes. In addition to the standard topics defined by the field of study, the competences of the graduate of the study programme are complemented by the specialisation chosen in the course of study, especially in the spheres that are the subject of the long-term scientific and pedagogical specialisation of the department (in particular, the language of the media, the stylistics of media texts and the analysis of the sound level of language in the media, the analysis of pop culture, the application of semiotics and gender studies in the analysis of the media, etc.).
