M. A. Media and Culture Sociology 

"Communication is key": This motto guides Lara Schultz as a trainee in science communication. She focuses on getting to the heart of project results from sustainability research. Her motivation: science should be accessible.

In dialog with the scientists, the media and culture sociologist works out the core of their research. She and her colleagues in public relations use press releases, brochures, social media and newsletters as channels. Further training in communications management accompanies the traineeship.
