PRECOURSES
In the maths pre-course, you can brush up on your school knowledge and close any gaps - and get to know your fellow students before you start your studies.

STUDY PROCESS
The Digital Media degree programme primarily teaches technical content relating to programming (e.g. networks, database systems, software engineering, etc.) and mathematics. In addition, business fundamentals and the basics of digital design are taught. The focus is on the technical realisation of digital media with design components.

In the 4th and 5th semesters, you will have the opportunity to deepen your personal interests in the field of digital media (media design, media informatics) by taking part in five compulsory elective subjects. In the final semester, you will first complete an internship (3 months) in a company or institution and then write your final thesis.
