Media production - technology meets creativity

In the focus of media production, they deal with the modeling, shading, rendering and the animation of computer graphics to create realistic or stylized 3D worlds. Furthermore, you will learn to design, produce and optimize audiovisual media, e.g. video clips, from scratch and optimize it for various platforms. Your studies cover all production phases - from planning to recording to post -production.

The ability to efficiently plan production processes and use IT-based systems make them fit for a variety of tasks in the media industry-be it in film production, advertising or in interactive applications.

Web and mobile applications- develop everyday helpers

Whether social networks, streaming services or interactive apps- modern web and mobile applications have become an integral part of our everyday life. In your studies, you will learn to design such applications from scratch, programme and optimize for various end devices. This includes design, database connection and cyber security as well as the development of user -friendly apps for smartphones and tablets.

Game development and artificial intelligence - design interactive worlds

Games are a fascinating leisure activity, a growing market and a driving force for innovations. In media informatics you develop 2D and 3D games, create virtual worlds and interactive media for various platforms, including mobile apps. Among other things, they learn to programme game mechanics, integrate animations and implement modern graphics effects.

Artificial intelligence also increasingly plays a role in all areas of media informatics. During your studies you get first insights into these technologies and your possible uses.

Practical learning - your path to media informatics

Your studies combine well -founded theoretical basics with application -oriented practice. Many courses include exercises, projects or laboratory work in which you work with current software and hardware.

In addition, at the end of your studies you gain valuable practical experience in a company and apply your knowledge directly to real problems in your bachelor thesis.
