Journalism and Public Relations (PR)

 

In our fast-paced world, information races around the globe and professional communications are crucial. Our students gain an all-round overview: whether on the internet, radio or TV and whether in a PR agency or as an editor – they produce content for different media and target groups. You too can help shape the information society of tomorrow.
