Why study Media Communications?
Media play an important part in politics, culture and business.
They are a business, but also more. As channels of communication they structure your work and your leisure time.
They offer commercial and creative opportunities. Studying media helps you make use of these opportunities.
Whether traditional or cutting edge, whether print, TV, the airwaves or the web, analogue or digital:
You are surrounded by media, you work with them, you want to understand how they work.
Why study Media at Webster?
At Webster, we offer you the best of several worlds. You do not have to choose between the more theoretical science of communications (in German: Publizistik) or the purely applied study of the techniques of media work (schools of journalism, in German: Journalismus-Fachhochschulen). We offer both.
For example: How is the media business structured? What are the ethical and legal issues in the publishing world? How to produce professional webcast? What does it take to write for business or for media? What can photography contribute to contemporary communication? How did media develop, and how do theories explain this development?
All these questions and many more are answered in the courses offered in the department of media communications.
Also, at Webster you get to know media in their true contemporary form: as a global phenomenon. The language is English, and the approach to all subject matters is multicultural. This is reflected in the study material and in the input of teachers and students.
With us you learn about media hands-on. The classes are small, like all classes at this University:
Usually between eight and fifteen students, rarely more than twenty.
How real is the study of Media Communications at Webster?
Very real. To give you one example: At The Vienna Review, the monthly publication for Vienna’s English-speaking community, students contribute as writers, photographers, editors, layout artists, proof-readers etc. It’s all part of their studies, and they all contribute to a professional product that is sold in the Greater Vienna market.
Looks good on your CV, too.
Also, our teachers come from the real world. In addition to their academic background, they work as journalists, editors, video professionals, media lawyers and in various media institutions. They practice what they teach, and they teach what you will be able to practice.
What else makes Media Communications at Webster special?
You have access: to state-of-the-art digital equipment –
like a whole lab full of Macs for all advanced work, from Photoshop to Final Cut video editing.
to a vast array of media and academic sources – all available online, in the student PC lab or in the privacy of your home; as a Webster student, you can make use of Passports, one of the largest databases in the academic world.
and above all: to the teachers, they not only have office hours twice a week, but you can call them, send them mails, talk to them when you need to: a bit of Anglo-Saxon luxury in the Austrian environment ....

Media Studies at Webster University Vienna
The media program at Webster University Vienna offers an intensive study of a variety of skills needed in the field of communications. It leads to a B.A. recognized in Europe, the United States and most other countries worldwide.
The program prepares students for careers in print and audio-visual journalism, as producers, editors and experts dealing with legal, ethical and cultural issues of media. It also provides ample opportunities for further specialization.
Students and faculty have an international background. The location of the university in Vienna, the third UN city and a growing hub of international organizations and institutions, further enhances the learning experience.
The media program offers state-of-the-art equipment, audio-visual and print editing and producing technologies. Students learn from practitioners, in small classes, with intensive feedback and many possibilities to produce for the real world. Webster University Vienna was the first learning institution in the city – and at this point is still the only one – to offer digital media-design and production and the publication of a professional paper, the monthly Vienna Review.
Students participate in internships and get real-life experience in the field of communication. They showcase their accomplishments in a professionally styled portfolio review before graduating. The work is stimulating and leads students to a better understanding of the challenges of professional media work.
