Media Systems

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

The practice-oriented Media Systems degree course qualifies students as computer scientists specialised in digital media who, in addition to posessing core computer science knowledge, are skilled in the areas of software development, network and server technology, project management, multimedia services, and storage technologies for the media sector. Media Systems graduates plan, design and programme software (games, web applications, apps, VR/AR), design and develop multimedia services for the media sector, and plan and implement secure IT networks. Within professional teams they are often the interface between the various disciplines (illustrators, web designers, game designers, IT experts). The course's first year focuses on foundational courses in mathematics, computer science, programming and design, AV technology, and media and society. The second year deepens and expands on these topics with courses in networks, cryptography, software engineering, virtual systems and computer graphics. In the third year, students specialize by choosing advanced technical and design-related courses. The program includes practical small-group exercises in modern media labs and studios, with three interdisciplinary major projects linking technical and design objectives.
