The degree program is designed to qualify students for professional careers and provides a pathway into the workforce. However, it is not a narrowly defined training program for a specific profession. Instead, the bachelor's program focuses on developing skills that are relevant to a wide range of occupations: the ability for analytical thinking, creative problem-solving, rational argumentation, and communicating complex topics in an accessible way. These skills are particularly valued in the following professional fields: journalism and public relations, literature and cultural management, adult education, media (theater, radio, television), politics, publishing, and business (consulting). Since the degree program is complemented by a minor, students also have the opportunity to acquire interdisciplinary key skills that open up additional career opportunities.
