myStudies 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 myStudies programme is to provide you with in-depth knowledge in all areas of media design: Print, online, mobile, photo and video, infographics and presentation.

Create your own online portfolio in myStudies!
A convincing portfolio is the most important self-marketing tool for designers. In the Media Design myStudies programme, you will have the opportunity to create a convincing online portfolio.

Content

Contents in the myStudies Programme Mediendesign

The Media Design myStudies programme will provide you with specialist methodological knowledge and creative presentation techniques. You will be able to apply the knowledge you have gained in practice. 

The focus is always on techniques of idea generation, the connection between form and content as well as aspects of visual communication. By teaching you how to use current software tools, we will round off your profile as a media designer.  

Our Bachelor's degree programme is modular. This means that you study different subject areas, which are divided into so-called "modules". Within these modules, there is usually an introductory course and an in-depth course that systematically prepare you for the completion of the module. 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.
