Media University of Applied Sciences

The university offers Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees across journalism and communication, management and business, design, psychology, and the humanities. A distinctive feature is its double-degree options such as “Visual Communication and Graphic Design,” “Public Relations and Digital Marketing,” and “International Marketing and Media Management,” equipping graduates with cross-disciplinary profiles valued by multiple industries.

To support a strong transition into the labor market, MU blends rigorous academics with extensive hands-on experience. Collaborations with institutions and companies feed real-world briefs into coursework, including the regular Berlin project week with renowned partners like ZDF, Sony, and Deutsche Welle. Student productions are showcased online as well as on television and radio.

Programs are designed to build both theoretical insight and job-ready skills. By graduation, students present a broad, demonstrable competency set that sets them apart in competitive application processes.

Students seeking international exposure receive dedicated support. MU has participated in Erasmus since 2013 and actively promotes exchanges and cooperation with European and non-European universities; its partner network continues to grow.

Professors and teaching staff mentor students throughout their studies and early careers. We succeed as a university when our alumni succeed—study at Media University is demanding, but highly rewarding.
