Description
PRVM01 ges som fristående kurs. Den kan normalt ingå i en generell examen på såväl grundnivå som avancerad nivå. I kursen utvidgas och fördjupas kunskaperna om massmedierna, med inriktning på ett eller flera valda specialområden, och om den medievetenskapliga forskningens mål och metoder. Dessutom ingår övning i att framlägga sina rön i en vetenskaplig uppsats. Kursen består av två valbara läskurser om vardera 7,5 hp och ett examensarbete om 15 hp. Examensarbetet ventileras vid ett obligatoriskt seminarium. Inom denna delkurs ska den studerande också fullgöra en oppositionsuppgift. Efter avslutad kurs ska den studerande visa fördjupad kunskap om den medievetenskapliga forskningens teoribildning, mål och metoder; visa fördjupade kunskaper inom olika specialområden gällande pressen, etermedierna eller de digitala medierna; kunna självständigt behandla medievetenskapliga frågor och på ett kvalificerat sätt förmedla sina rön; kunna självständigt utföra informationssökningar inom det massmediala området och kritiskt analysera informationen; kunna kritiskt, självständigt och på vetenskaplig grund analysera mediernas betydelse och journalistikens roll i samhället; kunna självständigt bedöma sitt eget behov av ytterligare kunskap och kompetensutveckling inom det medievetenskapliga området.

Note!
This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.
How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
