Digital Media Production, B.A.
Digital Media Production (DMP) is an interdisciplinary course at the interface between media design, media informatics and media planning. DMP relies on an interdisciplinary profile with a training focus on the interlinking of the disciplines, i.e. the conception, design and development of multimedia systems. The design and IT components of the course are not understood as isolated modules from different disciplines, but are mutually dependent and build on one another. DMP is application and practice-oriented. Due to its multidisciplinary approach, the course takes into account methods and tools from both media design and media informatics. In addition, aspects of media production that deal with the conception, planning, budgeting and marketing of applications are taken into account.

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
The standard period of study is three and a half academic years or seven semesters. This includes, among other things, a practical semester (optionally a semester abroad), a two-semester media project and the bachelor thesis with the associated graduate seminar and colloquium.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
The professional fields for future graduates of digital media production are diverse. Students who decide to specialize in Audiovisual Media have good chances in the field of film, television and Internet TV (including on-air and 3D design). A strength of graduates of the DMP course is the interface competence for design and the knowledge of cross-media design issues. Audiovisual skills are also increasingly in demand within agencies, which often make the decisive difference to competitors in the area of promotion or pitches. A special branch within the production and design landscape is application design, i.e. the design and programming of digital applications that have a special focus on usability and user experience. Graduates from DMP have good qualifications because they are familiar with programming as well as prototype development, interface design and animation / visualization. Alumni also have the knowledge they need for the game design market. Another large market are communication and development departments in medium-sized companies and industry.

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.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, 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.
