Premaster's programme
Study programme
Your individual study programme is printed on the provisional admission letter you will have received from your Master’s programme. The courses are all part of the regular Media and Culture Bachelor’s curriculum, so you will be attending classes with first-, second- and third-year Bachelor’s students. The Humanities Student Information Desk will register you for all your courses.
The course descriptions (including study materials) are available in the Course planner. You can find your class schedule in MyTimetable. The lectures will be held in several different locations.
Bachelor’s thesis
In most cases, your Pre-Master’s programme will conclude with a Bachelor’s thesis. More information is available at the Media and Culture Bachelor’s website.
