Media informatics is a branch of computer science. The program combines computer science studies with content from design, media theory, media technology, communication science and business administration. If you want to study in an interdisciplinary and application-oriented way, the media informatics program is the right choice for you.

The program comprises six semesters and offers you a wide range of content.

In the first semesters, you will acquire in-depth knowledge of computer science, design, programming and databases. You will learn the concepts of software development, web development, human-computer interaction and multimedia systems.

In the further course of your studies, you will have the opportunity to specialize in the following areas.

Graduates of the Media Informatics program are competent in software development especially in media application areas, user interface design, content creation in the application area of computer graphics, virtual reality and audio-video production.

The goal of the study program is the career-oriented education of computer scientists with competencies in the application area of media and UX design. The guiding idea is the user-centered development of applications in digitized workflows.

With qualifications in all basic areas of computer science and especially the application areas of digital content creation, computer graphics and HCI, graduates of the Media Informatics program are very well prepared, especially for collaboration in interdisciplinary teams in existing companies, but also for self-employment.

Here you will become a computer scientist with a focus on digital media and multimedia:

For example, you'll learn how digital media and information systems work technically, how to use programs for media processing, and you'll become familiar with the processes in the media industry. And, of course, you'll get the know-how you need to develop, design, implement and support multimedia software, apps and applications. These can include, for example, e-learning platforms used in schools, universities and the further education sector, or applications that media companies use to publish editorial content on the Internet (so-called content management systems).

The interdisciplinary qualification with a comprehensive basis in all areas of computer science opens up fields of work both in media production and in the development and application of innovative solutions for industry and research.

In addition to technical knowledge, we also attach great importance to practical experience. Within the scope of projects and internships, you can directly apply and deepen your acquired knowledge. A close connection to the industry and current topics ensure a high quality in the training.
