Details of the programme

The first semester of the programme primarily deals with the in-depth basics of the various areas of computer science in media, production and technology. One focus is on interaction design. An interactive application is designed and prototypically implemented in small, interdisciplinary groups. There is also a module in which the basic principles of working in a scientific context are taught. Second semester - the knowledge you have acquired is now intensified through advanced courses, and new subject areas are covered and developed. In addition, you can deepen and apply your knowledge in a larger research project! Over one or two semesters, we give you the opportunity to gain experience and insights into the planning and implementation of scientific research. In the third semester, you will complete a master's thesis on a key topic within six months. The written thesis and the products created are assessed.

Many of our graduates are very successful in professional life, for example as freelancers, developers in the VR/AR or game sector, employees in research projects or as managers in the digital sector with technical and/or personnel responsibility.

Doctorate

Our cooperative doctoral programme enables our university graduates to gain further academic qualifications after completing their master's degree.
