The degree program combines cultural and literary studies with media studies and independent creative work. Students receive the theoretical and historical grounding necessary for reflecting on the ever-changing role of media in modern society. In addition, they receive training in analyzing content transmitted through the media (from texts and classical audiovisual mass media to the multimedia formats of the “new media”), also as a starting point for creating their own media content.
Many degree programs in the area of media studies focus either primarily on theoretical competence or on practical skills. The degree program in cultural media studies strikes a happy medium between these two paths. The practical side is covered explicitly in two practical media modules and a mandatory internship in media management. The infrastructure for the practical component of the curriculum is provided by the university’s own New Media Center.

As part of the Bachelor of Arts degree programme, the major subjects can also be combined with one of the three minor subjects offered by the Freiburg University of Music - aural training, music physiology and music theory - instead of one of the above-mentioned minor subjects, each of which has a scope of 40 ECTS credits. In the case of such a combination, the relevant examination regulations of the Freiburg University of Music apply to the study of the minor subject offered by the Freiburg University of Music.
Information on the aptitude test for the minor subjects Aural Training, Music Physiology and Music Theory.

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

Online Study-Choice Assistant [in german]
The OSA will give you a realistic preview of the content, procedures and requirements of the relevant field of study at the University of Freiburg. It also offers you the opportunity to test your own interests, ambitions and skills, and through an individual feedback to assess whether the appropriate field of study at the University of Freiburg fits you.
The tables with the results of the last selection processes allow you to see the assigned grade/number of points in the selection process which would have sufficed and what the waiting period would have been to secure admission. The assigned grade/number of points is based by subject on the average grade or weighted grades achieved in the German higher education entrance qualification, on test results and/or outcome of the selection interview, and also on professional or practical experience in the respective subject.
