Points of Contact in Media, Technology and Society

The first point of contact for most enquiries about your studies is the Student Service Centre, or SSC for short. As well as academic guidance and information on the details of the application process, the SSC also offers advice on organising or funding your studies. You can also contact the programme office and the programme directors. Student advisers offer advice based on their own experience of their respective programmes – both before you start your studies and throughout your degree.

You will find all the contact details for the Online Communication programme below. For general enquiries, please contact mts-office.fbmd@h-da.de.
