More than just "Something to do with media."
Shape our digital future! Innovative ideas are lived at our "DM" faculty; with curiosity and creativity we question the tried and tested (preferably ourselves too). We navigate you safely through the fast-moving world of media. Our bachelor's degree programmes provide you with a sound basic understanding and the ability to recognise trends early on and quickly familiarise yourself with new technologies. With our master's degree progammes, we train media experts whose in-depth knowledge makes them sought-after specialists.
Mission statement & academics
Powerful concept
The academic concept of the Faculty of Digital Media is based on understanding, designing, developing and critically reflecting on media. To this end, the content of the various degree programmes is continuously adapted and further developed in line with technical, media information, design and economic innovations. A wide range of collaborations with well-known companies ensure that training is practice-oriented and facilitates later career entry. The Faculty of Digital Media has developed a mission statement and guidelines for the various areas of study in order to continue to meet these requirements in the future and to maintain the quality of teaching and the experience advantage over competitors.
Academic study skills
Academic working methods should ensure that the results of a paper are objectively comprehensible for everyone. To this end, sources of information must be disclosed and correctly cited, and the structure and procedure of empirical studies must be described in detail. The basis and facts on which the author builds his argumentation must therefore be clearly recognizable and external research results must be clearly separated from the author's own.
In order to ensure that these aspects are taken into account, students at the Faculty of Digital Media are taught the basics of academic study skills:
- Independent definition and narrowing down of the topic and research question
- Ability to plan and structure the work
- Knowledge of the formal rules of manuscript preparation
- Researching relevant information
- Scientific transparency: correct citation and annotation
- Scientific writing
- Editorial revision
Thesis
The bachelor's or master's thesis represents the professionally qualifying completion of the degree progamme. Through the assessment, students demonstrate that they have an overview of the interrelationships of the subject, that they can apply scientific methods and findings and that they have acquired the specialist knowledge required for the transition to professional practice.
