What is the degree program about?

Book Studies explores the communicative processes underlying text-based media. We consider books, newspapers and magazines, and are just as interested in printed versions as in electronic media such as ebooks, apps and blogs. The key question is how text-based media are created, distributed and used. We look back at the past to allow us to understand the present.

If you are interested in books, newspapers and magazines and would like to discover more about the processes behind them, then this is just the course for you.
