Programme Content
The BA AC is a coherent programme. Courses are
designed to build upon each other and there are
implicit and explicit links between them. The
courses of the skills trajectory supplement the
regular courses to provide you with important
language, professional, research and writing skills.
The research trainings gradually prepare you for
writing your final Bachelor Thesis.
The BA AC consists out of two phases; the
elementary phase and the specialisation phase.
The elementary phase covers year 1 and the first
half year of year 2. This phase consists of
compulsory courses only whereas there are
options to specialise in year 2. The specialisation
phase starts in the second half of year 2 and ends
with the Bachelor Thesis in year 3. The top 20% of
students can participate in a research based
programme, called Marble.

Media Culture
The course Doing Research in MC starts from the
claim that media have been at least when it
comes to their discursive construction always
already new (Gitelman). This course will teach
students to think about the transition of our
mediascape in an intermedial and longue-dure
perspective.

normative issues, including temporary ones, and,
based on this, will in principle be able to participate in

Didactics
Since the UM was founded, PBL has been the
norm for all programmes. That does not mean
that the PBL method is always applied uniformly.
Although each programme will have some emphases of its own, this does not affect the basic
principles of PBL. It is characterised by teaching in
small tutorial groups of around 15 students.
Students investigate issues in ways similar to
those used by staff. Students take turns in
chairing the tutorial group, take minutes, discuss,
exchange knowledge and decide together what
their learning objectives should be.
