Computer Science in Media, B.Sc.
Our world is becoming more and more digital: cookbooks, words and address books - to name just a few examples - are being replaced by websites. Hardly any advertising film can do without elaborate special effects, and computer games are also becoming more sophisticated technically. As a result, more and more people with different motives are z. B. at ATMs, in museums, in the car or on a smartphone, tablet, etc. faced with digital information.
All of this information must be presented to the target group and saved and transmitted as effectively and efficiently as possible. This requires very well-founded knowledge of methodology from computer science when programming and designing. In the Media Informatics course, you can develop the necessary theoretical foundations and methodological knowledge. You learn the basic technologies of media informatics, image processing and compiler construction and get insights into design methods such as B. in multimedia design.

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
The 7-semester bachelor's program is divided into three semesters of basic study and four semesters of main study. You spend the internship semester in a company of your choice. In the 7th semester you write the bachelor thesis.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
As a graduate, you will focus on automatic - often database-supported - media generation and processing, such as computer games and virtual reality, Internet programming and mobile systems, image generation and processing, and printing and paper media. Software companies often work on behalf of customers. Together with the clients, you create Service descriptions and implement the software. Graduates in the field of media informatics start-ups relatively often. You can also fill "pure" IT positions without a media connection because of the broad curriculum.

| Application | winter semester until 15.07, summer semester until 15.01 |
The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application until 15.01Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
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
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
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.
