Center for Media and Communication Studies (CMCS)
CMCS has emerged as a new center of excellence for promoting media and
communication studies throughout the Central and Eastern European region. CMCS
was created through the joint efforts and participation of the Annenberg School
for Communication (Univ. of Pennsylvania), the Budapest Technical University and
the CEU.
At CEU in Budapest, the Center offers a unique opportunity to engage in
innovative media and communication studies. The program provides students
with a thorough understanding of European policies, regulation, instruments and
actors in the area of media and telecommunications. The curriculum is designed
to provide a detailed and systematic analysis of how political institutions,
processes and public policies operate, conflict and interact with one another.
The emphasis on comparative approaches enables students to understand the
national and global implications of the fundamental changes that have taken
place in the field of information policies over the last decade. Participants
will gain a solid scholarly grounding in policy analysis, as well as practical,
issue-oriented knowledge. Courses address the architecture of regulatory
frameworks and processes of decision-making, both at the European and
international levels. Strong emphasis is also put on the implications of media
law and policy in the field of Human Rights. For more information visit
