About this course

["The Bachelor’s programme in Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography will open the door to editorial desks, publishing houses, and media companies. We teach multidisciplinary visual skills based on the media of photography and video, focussing on journalistic and documentary narratives.Our graduates work in various fields. Some work as freelance photographers, video journalists, or camera operators, and they finance their freelance documentary projects with scholarships and grants. Others opt for a permanent position after graduation, e.g. as a picture or video editor at a newspaper, curator at a gallery, or multimedia producer at a NGO (non-governmental organisation).We differ from traditional journalism programmes that focus on the visual (e.g. photography, video, and data visualisation). Unlike most photography programmes, we focus on journalistic and documentary storytelling. Because of our bilingual orientation and innovative teaching concepts, such as the educational newsroom, this results in a globally unique programme."]
