"Comprehensive know-how and all the key skills for tomorrow's communication: that's what our inter- and transdisciplinary training offers future thought leaders in online communication."
Michael Roither, Director of Studies
The Master's programme in Digital Media and Communication is the right choice for you if you have or want to have something to do with online communication professionally. If you come from the field of marketing communication and are responsible for online media there, you belong to the core group of our students. Or maybe you want to comment on the world and enter journalism as an online editor. You may already be developing online projects yourself, running a blog, maintaining the pages of your association or building a local network for the residents of your neighbourhood. Diversity of access is our trademark.
If you want to study with us, you should definitely have an interest in writing and design, creativity, media technology and communication. In the degree programme itself, you can expect to learn about media technology and media informatics, online marketing and community management, journalistic and editorial work, creativity and design, media business and law as well as specialist English.
The programme is part-time, but we don't want to hide the fact that we demand a lot from our students. 50 percent of the teaching consists of online assignments, independent work alone or in groups, reading pre-readings and professional articles or meeting in virtual classrooms. The time structure is such that you hardly have to take any leave or time-off days for the presence or online phases of your studies. Nevertheless, you should give this study project its due place in your life.

Deposit
After a binding acceptance of a study place, a deposit of € 350,- is collected at the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland to secure your study place. This deposit is refunded to active students after the end of the first semester. If an applicant does not fulfil the admission requirements before the start of the programme (e.g. Bachelor's examination not passed, etc.), the deposit will also be returned. In all other cases, the deposit is forfeited.
The Master's programme "Digital Media and Communication" (DMK Master) started in 2013 under the name "Information Media Communication" with the aim of training and further educating online marketing experts. The idea was to use the technical expertise at the Department of Information Technology at FH Burgenland and combine it with content production, organisational communication and marketing communication.
Our DMK Master's students ideally already work in the professional field of online communication - or are on the verge of doing so.
The Master's programme makes graduates versatile and prepares them for future leadership positions in public relations and marketing with a focus on online/social web, creative industries (communication agencies and advertising agencies) and media. If you ask today who among the students aspires to a management position in the next five years, at least a third raise their arms.
