Sound, broad knowledge of a field of Media Research and the skill for critical examination of essential methods and strategies of research in Media Studies 

Media are an important part of children's life. How do children deal with the immense offer of media? What do we know about the effects? And which strategies determine the design of media for children? To answer these questions we will examine and analyze different examples, from print media to television, from knowledge programmes to commercials.
