(NMgr) Programme: Media and Area Studies (NP_MARS) ****************************************************************************************** * Programme N0388A200002: Media and Area Studies - master, full-time ****************************************************************************************** Academic year 2025/2026 The Master in Media and Area Studies (MARS) combines two important contemporary fields of Studies and Area Studies. This combination provides in-depth and critical knowledge about mediation and signification, and how space and geography - the political and social specif an area - intersect with them. In particular, MARS will enable a thorough understanding of context. Media (and communication) studies has a long tradition of emphasizing the importa in dealing, for instance, with media production, content and interpretation/reception. And contexts are also spatial. Regions and countries, with their imagined communities, their p institutional structures, their insides and outsides, are particular, and they impact in p on media (infra)structures, media content and audience practices. MARS will generate a bet of the complexity of this context. Regions and countries are not internally homogeneous, a be studied in isolation and as structurally different from other regions and countries. MA into consideration that these regions and countries are particular socio-political and cul that have characterizing but complex (and sometimes contradictory) particularities, which significant for the study of the media spheres that are embedded in these regions and coun collaboration between the Institute of Communication Studies and Journalism (ICSJ FSV UK) of International Studies (IIS FSV UK). MARS graduates will have achieved in-depth knowledge about the media and political ecology Eastern Europe and the European Union. This will support their future employment in more s positions in a variety of social fields and organizations, including state administrations (including media), public service institutions, and non-profit organizations.
