About the Program
The Master's program in Media Informatics is an advanced computer science study program. The goal of the program is to acquire a second professional qualification and personal development for advanced professional maturity. Students should be able to develop a personal professional profile during the two years of the Master's program. The program builds on knowledge typically acquired in a preceding Bachelor's program with a focus on computer science or media informatics. The structure of the program supports this with few mandatory modules and many elective modules. A cooperation with the University of Leipzig enables students to take selected modules at the Faculties of Mathematics and Computer Science or Economics (Business Informatics). The program focuses on media informatics as a discipline that combines areas of practical, technical, applied, and theoretical computer science in the context of creating, transmitting, storing, processing, and presenting digital media. The program is accredited as more application-oriented and provides graduates with qualification for higher civil service.
