Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
Many activities require artistic-creative and technical-scientific skills as well as the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams. The degree course addresses these constantly evolving requirements. It conveys basic and broadly diversified know-how in the areas of design, media art, digital technologies and media informatics. One task in the digital age is to develop viable concepts for the application of new technologies that enrich our lives and at the same time make them easier. Art and multimedia motivate students to learn new technologies, to try them out in a playful way and to use them meaningfully. Relevant questions can be, for example, the design and use of virtual space or the humane use of artificial intelligence. Another important part of the study program is the theoretical reflection of the mentioned content.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.

The fields of activity open up wherever the meaning and self-image of the media society are updated, conveyed or reflected upon and therefore responsible, independent, creative and critical concept creators, designers or decision-makers are in demand. The course should prepare students for a wide range of professional opportunities and enable them to switch between different fields of activity in later professional life. The qualification profile conveyed in the Art and Multimedia course is attractive for many professional fields, for example for industrial companies, advertising and marketing departments, media agencies, advertising agencies, event agencies, cultural institutions, services in the multimedia sector, museums and educational tourism.

You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late

StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
