MA/MS in Medieninformatik

This Media Informatics master's builds on a bachelor's in media informatics, information science, computer science or a related field and centres on project-based courses in which students develop modern, user-centred software and interaction technologies, often while running their own empirical studies. Written exams are rare; instead teams carry out experimental work in human-computer interaction and advanced software or usability engineering, with electives allowing a personal focus in areas such as game engineering or digital humanities. From the winter semester of 2025/26 students can choose between full-time and part-time study, with the option to switch between the two, and the curriculum is split into a core block of four compulsory modules (72 ECTS, including the thesis) and an elective block of at least 48 ECTS chosen from twelve modules. Admission requires an aptitude procedure and specific language requirements; graduates go on to work in software engineering, usability and requirements engineering, project management, game engineering or human-computer-interaction research.
