Curriculum

The media computer science program's instructional units constitute so-called modules. These modules are mostly combinations of a lecture and a laboratory class. Please find a detailed list of the individual modules by semester below. Comprehensive module descriptions can be found in the downloadable module handbook (in German). By the way: "cp" stands for credit points, and "SPW" for semester periods per week. After your successful completion of a module, the credit points will be credited to your account, and the SPW indicate the time per module that you need to plan spending on campus per week.

Semesters 1 and 2

In the first two semesters, you will become acquainted with the fundamental contents for media computer scientists. At this point, the program focuses on computer science, design and mathematics, which are complemented by business administration and legal subject matter.  Lectures are accompanied by tutorials or lab classes, where you will apply the learned content in supervised small groups and add more depth to your understanding of the material.

Semester 3 and 4

After the first two introductory semesters, the intermediate segment of studies provides you with comprehensive course offerings that prepare you for versatile professional options in the area of developing interactive applications. In this segment, lectures are again accompanied by tutorials and lab classes, while the assignments of this more advanced phase of your studies will frequently have the form of projects completed by student teams.
