Certificate in Intermediality

  • understand how different media function within and beyond literature, music, performance, the visual arts, and digital media;
  • grasp the interplay of multiple media within a single work of art (such as a graphic novel or a film) as well as across genre boundaries (as in adaptations);
  • obtain ‘media literacy’—that is, to evolve from merely consuming mediated content to understanding how different arts and media construct meaning; 
  • critically engage with intermediality theory and apply it in practice (through research, creative work, and the option of an internship);
  • gain a new perspective on your main field of study through the lens of intermediality theory;
  • develop workplace skills that will be beneficial in various academic and professional environments, including creative and teaching professions.

The certificate comprises 21 ECTS and is divided into two compulsory modules: basic (one lecture and two proseminars = 9 ECTS; offered every winter semester) and advanced (two seminars plus an internship; or three seminars = 12 ECTS; offered every summer semester).

The broad range of intermediality theory and practice offers you numerous options for interdisciplinary research and collaboration. For instance, students enrolled in literary and cultural studies programs can exchange ideas with others who are interested in areas such as creative writing, music, the visual arts, theater, and education.
