The Center for Media Practices at the Department of Communication in Münster functions as the interface between communication studies and professional practice. It offers diverse teaching and further educational opportunities, as well as a supportive infrastructure in the three domains “editing,” “public relations,” and “market and opinion research.”

One of the most important tasks of the Center for Media Practices is to coordinate undergraduate courses and workshops that focus on the practical skills of media production. Experienced professionals with media backgrounds are invited to take part in seminars, workshops, and lectures that link foundational theoretical knowledge with practical media production.

Additionally, teaching and research benefit from the comprehensive infrastructure of the Center for Media Practices, which contains a TV and radiobroadcasting studio, an “editing department,” and a research lab. Hard- and software are also available here for students and employees of the Department of Communication during opening hours or as agreed upon.
