Content

Creating media experiences that have an impact on users' real lives and can bring about real changes is what the English-language Master's programme 'Expanded Media' is all about. The focus of such new, transmedia media architectures is the personal experience: users want to feel personally involved and try to draw personal benefits for their lives from the media experience. In international teams, students develop media offerings that explore this potential. In interdisciplinary media productions, they combine real and media worlds of experience and develop a new media language based on the user/audience experience. In the three study specialisations Expanded Storyworlds, Expanded Sound & Music and Expanded Realities, students are given the opportunity to deepen their preferred strategies with which they want to convey a personally meaningful experience to users.
