What is the aim of our programme of study?<\/h5>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n

Our students qualify as image experts and visual journalists.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n

\n
\n
What are the professional prospects?<\/h5>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n

Our graduates work in various fields: Some work as freelance photographers, video journalists, or camera operators, and they finance their freelance documentary projects with scholarships and grants. Others opt for a permanent position after graduation, e.g., as a picture or video editor at a newspaper, curator at a gallery, or multimedia producer at an NGO.<\/p>\n

A steadily growing number of job offers, which we regularly send out via our alumni mailing list, testify to the high demand for visually trained experts. In addition, more and more graduates are establishing their own start-ups and benefitting from the international network associated with our programme.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n

\n
\n
How does the bachelor’s degree in Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography differ from other programmes?<\/h5>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n

We differ from traditional journalism programmes in focusing on the visual (e.g., photography, video, and data visualisation). Unlike most photography programmes, we focus on journalistic and documentary storytelling. Along with our international orientation and innovative teaching concepts such as the Educational Newsroom, this results in a globally unique programme.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n

\n
\n
How is the course of studies organised?<\/h5>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n

The first two semesters include seminars like Visual Language, Research, and Storytelling in Journalism, which teach the technical and methodological basics. From the third semester on, many elective courses, such as Photobook, Short Documentary, and Data Visualisation, give you the opportunity to develop your profile. The fifth semester is for the 19-week compulsory internship, and the eighth is for the bachelor project.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n

\n
\n
How much does it cost to study?<\/h5>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n

For first-time students, the semester fee for the 2022\/23 winter semester was \u20ac404.41. From the second semester on, it is currently \u20ac318.31. You can find more information on the university’s website.<\/a> For material, printing costs, etc., you should add an extra \u20ac100 to \u20ac150 per month.<\/p>\n

According to a study, students in Germany need about \u20ac850 per month for living expenses. There are regional fluctuations, but Hannover is in the middle range and roughly corresponds to this average. However, the data are from 2016, and prices are likely to have risen. Of course, there are also individual differences in living costs, so the figure given should be taken only as an approximation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
