The BA in Integrated Cultural Studies is designed to professionally meet the challenges of multimedialization and globalization in the field of cultural studies. The culture-analytical skills combined with media competence and intercultural understanding that are central to our coursework are increasingly attractive to employers in a wide range of fields – from cultural and media industries to business. Our students have the potential to find positions in museums, archives, heritage industries, publishing houses, journalism, advertising and marketing, public relations, and institutional management sectors. The BA degree in ICS offers students three ways to continue their careers: immediate entry into the job market; advanced graduate studies at another institution in Europe or abroad, or continued studies in our own humanities graduate studies program.
