Freshman? - We show you what you should know at the beginning

Your first semester at a university begins.... Everything is new, exciting but also a little scary. We want to take away some of that fear and show you who the people are that you'll be dealing with for the next few years, what all you should know as a freshman, and how you can find help with any questions or problems.


Media informatics

The compulsory optional subject Media Informatics is offered as a Bachelor's as well as a Master's programme in conjunction with Media Cultural Studies.

This subject makes students familiar with the basics of modern media technologies and enables them to critically evaluate their possibilities. Both the practical application of the techniques in the field of media production and the understanding of these are taught, so that the students can develop their knowledge based on this independently.
