Media education networks across borders

Five media schools from Switzerland, Germany, and Austria have joined forces as a training network under the name Medienschulen.com and offer cross-border training and continuing education programs.

The newly established international media training association Medienschulen.com is intended to cover the needs that will be placed on training and further education in the media sector in the future. The association is made up of the Medienschule Nordwestschweiz, the Zapperbusch Medienfachschule Bern, the newly founded Crossmedia Fachschule Schweiz, the journalism school Klara Berlin and the Oberösterreichische Journalistenakademie in Wels.
Together, this training network offers various courses and further education programs that can be combined across borders and supplemented by internships in the respective countries. Those interested in comprehensive media training can, for example, complete basic journalism training at the Medienschule Nordwestschweiz, the Journalistenschule Klara Berlin or the Oberösterreichische Journalistenakademie and then specialize in video journalism, press photography and moderation at the Zapperbusch Medienfachschule Bern or in the cross-media discipline at the CrossMedia Fachschule Schweiz. Afterwards, supplementary postgraduate courses are offered at the partner schools. There is also the option of taking a practice-oriented specialist course at the Bern Media School and the CrossMedia Fachschule Schweiz with selected courses for general journalistic training at the Medienschule Nordwestschweiz and subsequent postgraduate courses at the partner schools.
All Medienschule.com courses can also be attended individually. The basic, specialist and postgraduate courses conclude with a joint diploma. In addition, the Medienschule Nordwestschweiz and the Zapperbusch Medienfachschule Bern offer diploma theses as proof of achievement. A mentoring system and regular media excursions round off the program.
