Our Claim: Management of Communication and Culture for Observers, Shapers and Decision-Makers.

Cultural knowledge and communicative competence are the key qualifications of the 21st century. Competences in dealing with data, texts, pictures and electronic media are essential in the staging of art, in the management of cultural institutions, in the planning of communicative campaigns, as well as in the consulting of cultural processes in all kinds of organizations and projects. The programs in the department Communication and Cultural Management react to these challenges with methods of quantitative and qualitative social research, discourse analysis, with the practise of artistic processes, with respect for cultural diversity and with the theory of society. The aim of the education is to enable students to address further questions, to acquire and evaluate data, to reach decisions, to design processes and to reflect on their own contribution to the situation. Communication links, culture connects, management shapes and supervises.
