Media and Convergence Management

The Master‘s degree programme “Media and Convergence Management” examines convergence in terms of technology, media, content and across sectors. We encounter convergence when smartphones and tablets serve as terminal devices for media use, when we are exposed to content in films, as a computer game and as a book at the same time, and when the boundaries in the TIMES industry (Technology, Information, Media, Entertainment and Security) become blurred. Are you interested in organising and managing these convergence processes? The Master’s degree programme provides you with the exact skills that are currently in high demand in the media industry, but also in many other entrepreneurial organisational structures.

The English-language Master’s degree programme is unique in its form. Every year, the university admits a limited number of participants who come to Klagenfurt from all over the world. The degree programme is just as interdisciplinary as the students: You can start with a Bachelor’s degree in the fields of cultural, economic or technical sciences. You can take your first career steps in the media industry, or elsewhere: in communication and media studies (content and editorial management, public relations, cross-media management, corporate social responsibility), in the sphere of business (strategic and operational marketing, advertising, market research and innovation management) or in technology (distributed multimedia systems, human-centred computing).
