The degree course focuses on activities related to the curation, organisation, provision and mediation of media, information and data. This includes the analysis of information behaviours; knowledge management and knowledge representation concepts; and the design of (digital) search, learning and research environments in the information infrastructures of libraries, educational and research institutions, and companies in the information economy. Digital transformation processes require the agile management of innovation, human resources and change.

Users’ media, information and knowledge literacy is equally relevant. Information and media literacy with a view to ethical and legal questions are promoted as part of library studies. The central focus of the degree course is people’s interaction with data, information and knowledge.

The degree course is based on the concept of guided learning and supports students’ self-guided learning in workshops, labs, projects and digital learning scenarios, and through research-based learning in regular discussion with instructors and diverse practitioners. The knowledge and know-how are always aligned with the newest academic findings and the requirements of professional practice.
