Teaching
As a media studies student, you divide your time between lessons, independent preparation and group work. You have fewer lessons than you were used to at upper secondary school, but as a university student, you are expected to gradually learn to study more independently. You find that being a university student is a full-time job. A large part of the teaching takes place in smaller classes, where you have ample opportunity for conversations and debates.
Reading groups
Part of your preparation takes place in your reading group, where you work on radio and TV programmes as well as web sites. Some of your exams are also based on group work. The reading group becomes both your academic and your social network.
Student life in the IT City Katrinebjerg
Media Studies is located in the IT City Katrinebjerg, along with Information Studies, Multimedia and a number of IT and media companies. There is a buzz of inspiration and you have access to every conceivable facility for carrying out assignments in your chosen field. See a map of Katrinebjerg and the calendar.
In addition to preparation and lessons, there are many social events available during your studies. Media Studies has a long tradition of enthusiastic associations, and you are welcome to join in or help organise these.
- The Student Committee is a forum for discussing study-related problems. All students are welcome to join this committee. There is also an Information and Media Studies (IMV) Council that discusses practical matters at the Institute of Information and Media Studies.
- The Friday bar at Katrinebjerg organises bar evenings and parties for students in the IT City.
- The Social Committee is responsible for many great ideas and interesting events. This committee organises two or three parties a year, held in combination with Information Studies.
- SAMS is an organisation that aims to strengthen communication between Danish media students, as well as promoting contact between students and the media industry. SAMS also publishes a journal called SAMSON.
