修士 in メディア・コミュニケーション in Europe

This master's program offers two specialization tracks: Multimedia and Academic e-Sports. The Multimedia track focuses on interaction design, instructional design, 3D visualization, user experience evaluation, e-learning, mobile education, and virtual and augmented reality, preparing students for roles in educational technology and digital media. The Academic e-Sports track explores governance and platform dynamics in e-sports, alongside digital design, pedagogy, game production, and learning technologies, supporting careers in e-sports development, education, and digital strategy. Both tracks include applied 21st-century skills, research methodology, and a substantial master’s thesis to consolidate learning and practical expertise.

To qualify for this master's program, applicants must hold a three-year bachelor's degree in academic e-sports, multimedia technology and design, or engineering—provided they have passed courses in object-oriented programming and 3D modeling or technical drawing. Alternatively, applicants with a four- to five-year teacher education degree must also have completed at least 60 credits in multimedia along with the specified programming and modeling skills. A minimum weighted average grade of C or better is required. English language proficiency must be demonstrated through standardized tests such as IELTS (minimum 6.0), TOEFL (minimum 80 internet-based), Pearson PTE (minimum 62), or recognized academic qualifications in English, with exemptions available based on prior education or country of study.

This master's program offers a deep, hands-on education in documentary storytelling, production, and theory. Students develop their creative and technical skills through progressive directing workshops, editing, cinematography, sound recording, dramaturgy, and masterclasses. The program integrates academic and practical components with courses in the history and theory of documentary, as well as an internship. Electives allow students to explore visual composition, anthropology, media aesthetics, and more. The final thesis involves a substantial creative project that demonstrates mastery of the documentary filmmaking process from concept to screen.

To apply for this master's program, applicants must hold a completed bachelor’s degree and provide proof of English proficiency unless exempt. Accepted language tests include IELTS (min. 6.5), TOEFL iBT (min. 92), PTE Academic (min. 62), and Cambridge English (min. 169). The admission process consists of four components: CV and motivation letter (10%), portfolio (30%), creative assignment (35%), and interview (25%). A portfolio of creative work is required and should showcase storytelling, filming, and visual creativity. Applicants must also complete a visual storytelling task after the first interview to assess their creative potential.

This master's degree is the only program of its kind in the country to offer an English-language qualification in film studies, combining theoretical and practical training to prepare students for careers in academia as well as the broader cultural and entertainment sector. It runs with two specializations, Film Theory and Filmmaking, over four semesters.

Both specializations share a foundational curriculum, beginning with an introduction to film studies and continuing into a comprehensive film history sequence, a choice between film theory or textual analysis, and coursework in film analysis. Depending on the specialization, students also take either a professional writing course or a research methodology course during this shared foundation.

Students in the Film Theory specialization gain a general overview of the history and theory of film alongside a critical understanding of the mechanisms and genres of popular film culture, with an emphasis on academic and critical writing. They explore different periods of Hungarian and world film history and various theoretical approaches and genres, developing skills in reading theoretical texts and interpreting films. Elective coursework spans further film history, film theory, and audiovisual culture, along with research seminars, project seminars, professional writing, and practical workshops, supported by required academic writing coursework and consultation sessions with an assigned adviser.

Students in the Filmmaking specialization gain hands-on experience across the creative production process, including screenwriting, directing, editing, cinematography, and production. Elective coursework includes an introduction to filmmaking, practical courses in directing, screenwriting, cinematography, editing, and production, coursework on production fundamentals, and practical workshops, which can be fulfilled through an internship at a film industry company. In the second semester, students write a brief academic paper before beginning a collaborative creative thesis project, supported by project development coursework and consultation sessions with an assigned adviser.

Film Theory students complete an independent research thesis that interprets screen media through relevant theory and the international scholarly literature, defended in a combined oral examination covering film history and theory. Filmmaking students instead complete a portfolio-based thesis combining a creative film or media project, a written essay on its background, and a working diary of the creative process, discussed in detail during their final oral examination. In both cases, the final degree grade combines the thesis grade with the result of the oral examination.

Faculty include active researchers involved in international and local projects, and filmmaking courses are taught by industry professionals. The department regularly organizes conferences, workshops, and screenings, in which students play an active organizing role, and maintains exchange partnerships with roughly a dozen institutions across Europe. Film Theory graduates go on to academic research or further doctoral study, or work as film and communication teachers, critics, and experts, including positions in film and media archives or national cultural institutions. Filmmaking graduates go on to produce content such as music videos, commercials, video blogs, or short films, working for production companies or in distribution and exhibition roles, with examples including line producers, screenwriters, and cinematographers.

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent, with full credit given for degrees in liberal arts or in motion picture and visual representation studies with a media specialization. Applicants with degrees in other fields are evaluated individually and must demonstrate at least 30, and ideally 50, credits of prior coursework in areas such as film history, film theory, filmmaking, philosophy, literary theory, the history of the social sciences, or art and cultural theory, supported by transcripts and course descriptions. Film Theory applicants must also submit a brief research proposal outlining their intended research project, while Filmmaking applicants must submit a link to an online portfolio of previous creative work, such as still or moving images, other digital media, or a sample screenplay.

English is the language of instruction throughout, and non-native speakers must demonstrate at least B2-level proficiency (CEFR), with preferred minimum scores of 72 to 94 on the TOEFL iBT, 6.0 on the IELTS, or 100 on the Duolingo English Test.

Applicants must submit an application form, secondary school certificate, an official copy of their completed bachelor's degree, a transcript of records, a CV, and a motivation letter of no more than 500 words, along with a valid passport copy; documents not originally in English require an official translation. Admission includes an online interview focused on the applicant's motivation, conducted in English, with final rankings based on a combined evaluation of academic performance and interview results.

This is a two-year program that integrates academic training with real-world policy skills. Students follow a structured curriculum that includes mandatory courses in economics, policy analysis, and research methods, along with academic writing and project management. Practical skills are developed through workshops on negotiation, advocacy, and data visualization, while the Policy Lab and internships provide hands-on experience. A broad range of electives allows students to tailor their focus to areas such as environmental policy, governance, or development. Language courses and cross-disciplinary options further enrich the program. The degree prepares graduates for impactful careers in public service and policy-related fields.

To be eligible for a master’s program, applicants must hold a first degree (or equivalent) or provide proof of completion before enrollment. A minimum of 180 ECTS is required for two-year programs and 240 ECTS for one-year programs, though exceptions may be granted. Simultaneous enrollment in another program is not allowed unless an official leave of absence is documented. Applicants must also demonstrate English proficiency unless exempt. Accepted test scores include: TOEFL iBT (minimum 88), IELTS Academic (6.5), Duolingo English Test (120), Pearson PTE Academic (59), Cambridge C1/C2 (180), and others.

This master's program blends creative expression with digital technologies, offering an advanced exploration of audiovisual art and new media. Students engage with topics like sound theory, experimental cinema, interactive cinema, scriptwriting, and directing. The curriculum includes hands-on work with digital art, animation, AI installations, virtual reality, and multimedia performances. The program also introduces tools such as After Effects and Cinema 4D, alongside theoretical grounding in visual culture, semiotics, and narratology. Optional courses allow students to deepen their knowledge in public relations, digital communication, design thinking, and cultural heritage.

To apply for this master's program in new media and audiovisual art, candidates must hold a bachelor's degree in humanities or arts, or a degree in another field with additional qualifications such as relevant work experience in creative industries or coursework in art history, theory, or philosophy. All applicants must submit a portfolio of 3–5 creative works and a written project proposal related to their chosen specialization—either audiovisual media, multimedia performances, digital art, or sound art/electronic music. English proficiency at a B2 level is required and can be proven via prior education or international exams like IELTS or TOEFL. An entrance examination is mandatory.

This master's degree develops the analytical skills needed to study literature, film, and visual culture as interconnected forms of meaning rather than as separate disciplines. Delivered jointly across two institutions, the program draws on expertise in literature, film studies, art history, and visual culture, allowing students to approach cultural questions from multiple perspectives within a single, coherent course of study, taught through small, seminar-based classes centered on interpretation, argument, and independent analysis across historical and contemporary contexts.

The two-year program moves from shared theoretical foundations toward increasingly independent research. Core seminars introduce key concepts in cultural theory and analysis, such as culture, nation, power, space, gender, and memory, alongside a seminar tracing major thinkers in critical theory and the social analysis of images, from historical philosophy through to contemporary visual and cultural studies. A dedicated course examines the relationship between words and images across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, while a sequence of interdisciplinary seminars approaches literary texts, films, and visual culture through thematic lenses that vary by year, such as dystopia, ecocritical approaches, memory and trauma, or postcolonial studies. Additional coursework introduces narratology and film analysis methods and their practical application, along with a seminar on adaptation across media that considers literary, film, and video game adaptations in relation to historical and cultural context, authorship, and genre.

During the second and third semesters, students take part in practical training organized in collaboration with cultural institutions and international literary, art, and film festivals in the host city, designed to support their research interests and critical engagement with cultural institutions rather than to provide vocational training. At the end of the second semester, students submit a thesis research proposal and select a supervisor, and the fourth semester is dedicated entirely to writing the thesis within a dedicated master's seminar, culminating in a public thesis defense.

Students benefit from a compact, culturally rich host city with an extensive network of literary, film, and visual culture institutions and festivals, allowing archives, exhibitions, screenings, and public debate to inform coursework and research alongside academic study. Close engagement with faculty supports the development of individual research interests from early in the program, within an international student community whose diverse backgrounds contribute to a comparative approach to the study of culture. The program is research-centered, providing a strong foundation for students who wish to pursue doctoral study, while also equipping graduates with the interpretive and critical thinking skills relevant to a range of careers requiring cultural judgment and the ability to work with complexity.

Applicants must hold a completed bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification and provide proof of English proficiency. Admission is decided through an entrance exam consisting of both written and oral components. The written component requires a one- to two-page statement of research interests and a ten-page writing sample, either an excerpt from the applicant's bachelor's thesis or, if no thesis was written, academic essays completed during their studies or published scholarly articles; if the original writing sample was not written in English, applicants must submit an English translation, which does not need to be notarized.

Applicants are assessed on a points scale across three components: the statement of research interest, worth up to 30 points with a minimum of 21 required; the writing sample together with previous academic performance, also worth up to 30 points with a minimum of 21 required; and an interview, worth up to 40 points with a minimum of 28 required. Only applicants who meet the minimum thresholds on the statement of research interest and writing sample are invited to the interview stage, which is conducted online before an examination board of at least two members and evaluates the applicant's motivation and clarity of goals, their ability to develop and refine a research plan, their analytical ability, and their oral communication skills. Final admission is based on the combined score across all three components.

This master's program explores how digital media shapes contemporary society by integrating communication theory, digital culture, and media analysis.
