History
When the HTWK was founded in 1992, the Faculty of Computer Science, Mathematics and Natural Sciences arose from the departments of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences of the former TH Leipzig, which had existed since 1977.
The Faculty of Media was created in 2006 from the "Book and Museum" and "Polygraphic Technology" departments of the HTWK Leipzig, founded in 1992. It combined all courses of study dealing with traditional and new media and integrated the teaching facilities for librarians, booksellers, museologists and polygraphers, which are particularly typical of the city of Leipzig.
