TV Journalism (MTV)

Study TV journalism in Hanover

The Hochschule Hannover – University of Applied Sciences and Arts has been offering the first Master's course in TV journalism in the German-speaking world since the winter semester 2008/09. The two-year full-time course is a pioneer in Germany: While specialisation is only possible in higher semesters in most journalism degree courses, at the Hochschule Hannover – University of Applied Sciences and Arts you enter the TV field on the very first day.

Practical relevance

The degree course offers a scientific and at the same time practice-oriented qualification, which is also reflected in the degree: In addition to the scientific Master's thesis in the fourth semester, all students produce their own graduation film in the second and third semesters. Since the focus of the degree programme is on longer formats, 30- to 60-minute documentaries, reports and features are common.

Perspectives

The curriculum is specifically tailored to the requirements of television. New formats and developments on the television market are continuously integrated into the teaching. The degree course ends with the Master of Arts in TV Journalism. The degree also entitles the holder to take up doctoral studies.
