The Master's programme "Media Effects and Media Psychology" (MUM) deals with psychological approaches to explaining media use and media effects.
Media now determine our lives centrally and comprehensively: from getting up to going to bed, in the world of learning and work as well as in leisure and family life alike. Media satisfy our elementary needs: from information and entertainment to communication and social-emotional identification. Due to their complex impact potential, media offers and messages not only have a central individual psychological relevance, but also an enormous social significance and political dimension.
This is where the highly topical approach of the degree programme "Media Effects and Media Psychology" becomes apparent, which has an equally exciting and important field as its central study content. This was also recently emphasised by the German Psychological Society: "In our modern information and communication society, the need for psychological approaches to explain media use and media effects has grown enormously. Psychological theory formation and research are centrally required." The degree programme aims to meet this demand with its dedicated research profile. This orientation is also reflected in the curriculum with several modules.

The many levels of media effects correlate with the other, equally highly topical focus of the degree programme: media education and its approach to supporting all members of society, especially children and young people, in a competent and reflective use of media and their contents. This also includes teaching operating competence in the media field to enable appropriate social participation in the digital age.
Current studies such as the one conducted by the „Deutschen Kinderhilfswerks“ in autumn 2021 show the enormous importance of learning media competence. Children and young people in particular are often overwhelmed by the challenges and dangers of the diverse communication possibilities in the digital age and feel left alone. Media providers as well as schools and parents seem to have neither the right answers nor the help they need to deal competently with the media. This is precisely where the study programme comes in with its contents and study objectives.
Applicants with a successfully completed university degree (minimum grade see study and examination regulations) in a relevant degree programme can be admitted. Psychology, education, journalism or journalism studies or media and communication studies at a German university with at least 210 ECTS credit points or an equivalent domestic or foreign degree are considered relevant.
