New master’s program: European Film Business and Law – Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF and the University of Potsdam

The Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF and the University of Potsdam are introducing their joint new master’s program European Film Business and Law LL.M. | MBA.

Top-class academic expertise, industry intelligence, interdisciplinary knowledge exchange, as well as access to top industry experts and their networks make the program stand out.

The inaugural edition of the program is launching in the winter semester 2022/23, subject to final approval by the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture of the State of Brandenburg (MWFK).
