The possibilities to present information are just as varied as the range of information we receive every day: texts, images or videos. Using sound, websites or apps. In 2D or 3D, loud or quiet, analogue or digital. Explore new ways of telling and presenting stories with us and create games, virtual realities or films.

Course structure & majors

At the beginning of your studies you decide for one of two majors:

  • Film, or
  • Media Programming.

Your choice will determine the contents of your studies. But what is true for both majors, is: Have a go. Try things out. All the things you will learn in lectures, classes and seminars, you can apply in a number of awesome labs and studios. They include:

You will also learn how to turn your ideas into reality in 3D computer graphics labs and in our TV studio.

In the seventh semester of the programme you complete a three-month internship and write your bachelor’s thesis.
