The Department of Communication Studies has a history of over fifty years and is one of the largest departments of its kind in the German-speaking world. It offers a comprehensive teaching and research profile in the field of media and communication studies and is committed to offering teaching and research at the cutting edge of social challenges and trends. In order to understand and explain these challenges, it is important to us to consider different perspectives and promote an open exchange. We do not limit ourselves to analysis, but work together to develop socially robust and sustainable solutions that make a difference.
