Over the past 20 years, digital media have comprehensively changed our society. Analog media and communication channels are now largely being replaced by digital technologies (e.g., telephone, radio, television, newspapers, films, and photography). This shift towards digital, networked media is taking place in the field of consumer electronics, but to the same extent in almost all other areas of daily life, such as vehicles, medicine, etc. The Media Informatics degree program combines knowledge of computer science with that of digital media, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, language processing, and digital networks. It thus lays the foundations for designing digital systems that meet the requirements of human users.
A short overview over the study program
The Bachelor of Science Media Informatics is designed for six semesters. The first three semesters form the basic studies, the last three semesters are used for specialization. The degree programme is divided into compulsory and elective areas, and within the elective areas priorities can be set individually.
The first time hurdle in the Bachelor's program is the orientation examination. This exam must have been passed by the end of the 3rd semester, lastest.
The maximum period of study for this course is 12 semesters.
In the first year of study, students learn the mathematical, practical, and theoretical fundamentals of computer science and media informatics. Starting in the third semester, elective courses are added, allowing students to specialize individually. Projects give students practical experience and teamwork skills while they are still studying.
The Media Informatics degree program combines knowledge of computer science with that of digital media, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, language processing, and digital networks. It thus lays the foundations for designing digital systems that meet the requirements of human users. This degree program focuses much more strongly on the human-machine interface than the other bachelor's degree programs in the department.

Courses
The courses of all degree programmes are stored in the C@mpus system - separated by degree program and examination regulations. Please note that not every course is offered in every semester. Good planning of your studies is therefore essential. A non-binding list for the winter semester 2025/26 can be foundhere for
