Internship / Semester abroad
A crucial part of this academic program is the internship. Internships aim at allowing students to get in touch with the professional world, in Switzerland and abroad, within professional environments that are consistent with the Master program, in companies such as TV and radio broadcasters, news outlet etc.
|
|
In alternative to the internship and in order to broaden their scientific competences, students can attend an academic semester abroad or in Switzerland, in one of USI's partner universities. During this semester, students can integrate courses they attended in Lugano in the first two semesters with other subjects in media management.
Thesis
Master theses are set to conclude students' preparation and are aimed at deepen the analysis of a topic students can decide, within the scope of the Master program. The research work, supervised by one or more professors of the Master, can be theoretical or empirical: students have to demonstrate to be able to use proper concepts, theories, methodologies and tools and to have analysis, synthesis and editorial skills.
Electives and Minors
During the second and third semesters, students are required to earn 24 ECTS of electives courses.
Students can choose the courses they are interested in, among (a) elective courses offered in four distinctive minors, (b) other electives and (c) core courses offered in other USI's Master programmes.
