STUDYING DIGITAL MEDIA

The Bachelor's degree programme in Digital Media begins with the Leuphana Semester, during which you will learn the methodological and disciplinary foundations of your academic specialisation in digital media. From the second semester, your Bachelor's programme will be divided into the Digital Media major, a minor of your choice (e.g., Popular Music Studies, Philosophy, Psychology and Society or Sustainability Science), and Complementary Studies. In the Complementary Studies, you can try out new ways of working and thinking from other disciplines, allowing you to expand your interdisciplinary skills.
