Computer science
Get started with programming and the basics of computer science.
Where coding : meets creativity
Whether apps, websites, photos, video clips or virtual reality - digital media have become an integral part of our everyday lives. The Digital Media study programme combines computer science and design and prepares you optimally for a career in the digital world. The focus is on the technical implementation of digital media with design components. To the programme content include, among other things:
- 52 per cent computer science and programming: software development, web and app programming, network systems
- 28 per cent media design & design: UX/UI design, animation, 3D modelling, audiovisual media;
media technology & production: audio, photo and video production, virtual reality - 20 per cent theory: mathematics, business administration

PREVIOUS COURSES
In the mathematics preliminary course, you can refresh your school knowledge and close any gaps - and get to know your fellow students before the start of programme.
The Ready2Code online course makes it easier for you to get started with your first programming lecture. Information on setting up the computer, initial programming steps and insights into the Moodle e-learning platform.
EXPIRING THE STUDIES
The digital media study programme primarily teaches technical content relating to programming (e.g. networks, database systems, software engineering, etc.) and mathematics. Business basics and the basics of digital design are also taught. The focus is on the technical implementation of digital media with design components.
In the 4th and 5th semesters, you will have the opportunity to specialise in five compulsory elective subjects in the field of digital media (media design, digital media). In the final semester, you will first complete an internship (3 months) in an enterprise or institution and then write your thesis.
OVERVIEW OF THE COURSE OF STUDIES
The study schedule provides you with a structured overview of the modules and semesters.
In addition to basic knowledge, you can specialise in one of the two subject areas by choosing elective modules:
MEDIA DESIGN
The focus here is on creative design and the digitisation of library items such as digital photography, media didactics or the theoretical basics of visualisation.
MEDIA INFORMATICS
Digital media specialises in technical topics such as digital image processing, multimedia communication, microcontroller programming and IT security.
University entrance qualification
