Program Profile

The focus of the program is on interactive (game/web/app design) and linear media (film/video/animation). In the course of the study program Media Informatics & Design, various own design projects are realized in these areas.

In addition, we consider the sensitization of our students to social changes to be an important prerequisite for gaining a foothold in the creative industry.

Thus, cooperation projects with partners from business, science and culture are also characteristic of the practice-oriented teaching approach of the Media Informatics & Design program.
