Are you interested in literature, film, comics, art, music, fashion, or journalism? The Media Cultures: Intermedial and Multimodal Studies programme offers a broad media-oriented perspective on narration, meaning making, learning, and truthfulness in art and communication.

By integrating intermedial and multimodal perspectives into research on media cultures, you will develop a profound understanding of how various media types interact and influence each other. This can help you develop new insights and approaches to literary analysis that consider the complex relationships between digital, analogue, and physical media.

Several of the courses combine an intermedial or multimodal perspective with different media. The aim is for you to develop knowledge of relevant, intermedial and multimodal theories and methods, primarily within the fields included in the intermedial research centre (IMS). After the first semester, you can choose courses with an intermedial perspective but also build your master with individual courses. During the third semester, you can study abroad at one on Linnaeus University’s partner universities, or conduct an internship abroad. If you choose not to go abroad, you can choose individual courses of your own choice, offered at Linnaeus University. You write your Master’s thesis in the fourth semester in the main field Comparative Literature but with an intermedial or multimodal perspective.

Online and campus:

The program is offered online (distance learning) and on campus simultaneously. The teaching and course-work are integrated according to the 'Glocal-classroom model', so that students who participate online and students on campus are taught together, and follow the same schedule. Make sure to apply for the version you prefer, campus or online. 

Career Outcomes: 

The programme provides a solid foundation for PhD studies and prepares you for work in publishing, culture, education, information and communication, media, and administration.

International Possibilities:

At Linnaeus University, you have plenty of opportunity to broaden your international perspective. During the course of your programme, you can choose to study abroad through exchange studies to gain international experience. If you do, you will conduct part of your studies at one of our many partner universities around the world.

Also at home you can gain international experience. Many courses contain intercultural elements. For instance, in the form of course literature or guest lecturers from other countries. In your leisure time, you can get involved in associations together with students from a wide range of other programmes and countries, or meet international students through our buddy programme.
