Career boost for those interested in culture: information evening at the Goethe University!

On May 22, 2025, the Goethe University Frankfurt is organizing an information evening for its book and media practice training program. The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. in Casino 823 on the Westend campus. The aim of the program is to build a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the field of culture and media. This program, which is unique in Germany, has been offered since 1997 and is aimed at university graduates and young professionals who want to further their qualifications.

The program coordinator will explain the conditions of participation and present the concept. In addition to the presentation of the program, prominent speakers such as Dr. Sascha Michel from S. Fischer Verlagen and the book designer Uta Schneider will give insights into their courses. Participants also have the opportunity to report on their experiences and then have personal conversations.

Content and structure of the program

The training program extends over two semesters and includes three evenings per week. Topics such as editing, audio media, television practice, journalism, literary criticism, press and public relations, and cultural management are covered. In practical exercises, the participants familiarize themselves with the requirements of the professional field. The courses are completed by carrying out your own events and projects.

An important feature of the program is the close cooperation with various institutions, including publishers, newspapers, museums and broadcasters. This collaboration with local and regional cultural institutions in the Rhine-Main area creates a network that provides participants with valuable professional contacts. The program particularly addresses the problem of a lack of practical experience, which many humanities scholars struggle with.

Application and costs

A new cohort will start in the winter semester of 2025, with the application deadline on July 1, 2025. Participation in the program costs 1,000 euros, although there is the option to apply for a fee reduction. Anyone interested is encouraged to find out more early and to contact Nicola Menzel from the book and media practice if you have any questions.

The program is not only a supplement to the regular university offerings, but also a quick response to the changing requirements of the culture and media industry. Loud goethe.de The Goethe Institute offers educational programs worldwide for further qualification in these areas and strengthens the connection between theory and practice of cultural work.
