Your future with a degree in Multimedia Production

How people consume information and entertainment is changing rapidly as technology evolves. Recognising new media trends and at the same time identifying associated challenges in order to develop products with a finger on the pulse as graphic designers, developers and media producers after graduation - this is what prospective multimedia producers learn during their studies. The content includes design and computer science as well as media theory, media technology, journalism, media science, media business and media conception.
Through project work, which is often linked to concrete assignments from the business world, students make their first contacts with potential employers early on - in the advertising industry, at creative agencies, in editorial offices or communications and marketing departments.
