myStudium Mediendesign
There is hardly an area in which the digitalisation of society has such a direct impact as in communication with all its facets. This has completely changed the professional fields and challenges in the media sector. The core task of media designers has always been the creative preparation and transmission of information. In today's digital world, doing this successfully requires a multitude of new skills. Web design, cross-media strategies, video editing and app development are on an equal footing with the classic and equally important knowledge of typography and design, printing technologies and communication theory.
The aim of our Media Design myStudium programme is to provide you with in-depth knowledge in all areas of media design: Print, online, mobile, photo and video, infographics and presentation.

Within the modules, you receive ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System) for each successful completion, which are a record of your achievements. These ECTS points are internationally comparable and of course, internationally recognised.
