Student review [#19316] for Media and Communications Science
at Ilmenau University of Technology

The master’s in media and communication science programme at Technical University of (TU) Ilmenau has diverse courses that continue to be restructured in order to widen job opportunities and internships abroad for students. Some specific modules like the Intercultural communications course were reorganized and developed to focus more on current developments in research such as the incorporation of a new technologically learning platform known as a social virtual room to strengthen the technical capacity of students. This is true for most of the modules in the master’s programme and thus increases the chances of students securing good jobs after the completion of studies.

I really like the programme because of the good support lecturers and the examinations office provide to students, the way studies are organized, how lecturers introduce the courses to students with their aims, content, expectations and learning outcome. This helps students understand what is expected of them and how beneficial the course will be to their personal and career growth. I also appreciate the international and practical relevance of the programme in teaching and research as it has improved my research and data analysis skills as a first-semester student. There are also onboarding sessions for new students twice a week and other infinite variety of opportunities.

I will definitely recommend this master’s programme to any person interested in pursuing a career in the area of journalism or communication. In fact, I have already recommended this programme to a few friends in Cameroon and my younger cousins and currently guiding some of them through the application process. It is an amazing programme!!
