  • Media planner working with a team of specialists to create the right mix of analogue and digital media.
  • Magazine manager responsible for the readers’ market for a publication, developing and arranging promotional activities for readers and managing single issue sales.
  • Producer actingas the hub in the making of audio visual productions, organising facilities, people and material and ensuring budgets and deadlines are kept.
  • Online marketeer responsible for developing and executing online marketing plans for a concept or brand, taking decisions on aspects such as which message is to be communicated, how the brand should be promoted online and how communication with the target group should take place.

These are of course just a few examples. Some graduates choose to work as project managers, editors, marketing managers, or as managers in the music and entertainment industry. Others start their own companies or freelance as media specialists and advisors.

The programme: what can you expect?

The Media and Entertainment Management programme will teach students about communication tools and techniques and how to connect information, experiences, theory and practice. Cross-media communication is implemented as key focus of this programme. The academic year is divided into four modules of nine weeks each. Each module has a central theme which is studied and explored from a number of different angles and domains.

In the propaedeutic year, students are introduced to different types of multimedia techniques and tools, and are trained to use them in practice by setting up four media productions. Most of the academic team members are effectively active in the media industry so students learn directly from qualified people within the industry. Students are also taught subjects such as statistics, management, marketing, ethics, organisational sciences and business economics.

In the second year of the programme, students further explore the theories behind media analysis, human resource management, brand management and marketing communication. The third year focuses on the strategic management and students spend one of the modules working for a real world company. Stenden is well known for strong links with the industry. Multiple companies (national and international) prefer Stenden students as their interns because Stenden students are known for being independent while possessing problem solving capabilities. These features are well sought after by most employers. Students are also provided with an opportunity to study abroad for one semester.

The final year of the education is spent in a real company undertaking 42-week industrial placement. Students are expected to work four days and spend one day a week writing the final thesis in order to graduate.
