To be successful, sound knowledge and understanding of current trends are essential - as well as practical skills that mature through further practice.
The degree program Media: Conception & Production is based on a unique concept that combines academic knowledge with practical know-how of the design, organization and production of audiovisual media solutions.
Students acquire fundamental academic knowledge of design, technology and organization in lectures and seminars. Right from the start, students use tutorials and projects to create their own work and in doing so familiarize themselves with the entire range of audiovisual tools - from recording technology and editing software right up to the final presentation to an audience.
The degree program gives students the freedom to develop and implement their own concepts under professional guidance. This requires and promotes a high degree of personal initiative. The integrated semester abroad opens up unique intercultural perspectives for personal development.
What can I do with it?

Graduates of the degree program Media: Conception & Production are qualified to take on conceptual and production engineering tasks in the fields of broadcasting companies, media and web agencies, production companies, corporate communications, event management, etc. The integrated semester abroad also opens up international career opportunities.

Technical equipment
The course's modern facilities include a live studio, numerous cameras and over 42 editing workspaces, and enable students to apply knowledge gained from exercises, field trips and a project semester. Working in teams, students use the facilities to develop new media formats from the initial idea to the complete production and public airing at the "Media Showroom Night". In October 2016 the degree course staff and facilities moved into new office space at the Unter den Eichen campus and will therefore have the opportunity to bring all workspaces closer together on one floor.
Studio
On 95 square meters, the HD-capable studio allows the recording of TV shows and production of films scenes under realistic working conditions. Besides the studio, the student production teams can also use a video control room. Being trained in a studio provides the students with another practice-oriented qualification.
The technical equipment allows for the following production options:
- Live production from the video studio with studio cameras and different playback devices
- Offline post-production
- Stand-alone operation with its own audio mixing unit or live streaming
- Interconnection with the sound control room
Sound Studio
Digital audio control for applications such as:
- live mixing, recordings from the video or sound studio
- audio support for the video control room
- post-production
- sound effects for multi-media production
- MIDI-based production of music with live elements
Audio-Visual, Film & Video Production
The audio-visual, film and video production labs are all equipped with several editing workplaces for non-linear video-editing and post-processing of audio-visual productions. The range of Adobe software includes all the important programs for designing and processing images, pictures and sound.
An academic degree program and practical training go hand in hand in the Media: Conception & Production course. Prof. Wolfgang Schiffler, an initiator of the course: "The degree program is the perfect symbiosis of practically-oriented studying and design and technology-related knowledge." Besides the university's professors, experienced adjunct instructors from journalism, film production, event management or media law hold lectures and supervise practical work.
The standard period of study is six semesters.
Applicants who have successfully completed a media apprenticeship may apply to have it recognized in lieu of the first two semesters.
In the first semester students learn the practical basics over three modules.
The second semester is divided into seminars and an internship.
The third semester teaches broad-based theoretic and specialized knowledge in design,
During the fourth semester theory is linked to practice in the area of event management and media production.
The focus of the practical module is on the design and creation of new media formats and media productions. The presentations take place at the end of each semester at the well attended Media Showroom Night. Numerous examples of work can be seen here: www.media-showroom.de
In the fifth semester students can study at one of the course's many partner universities. Alternatively students can opt for an internship abroad. During this time, students write two academic papers in the area of design and technology.
The sixth semester consists, in equal parts, of a practical final piece of work and an academic paper (Bachelor's thesis). Students' final pieces of work is often carried out with partners from industry. Support is provided for experimental work that examines or researches innovative media productions.
The Bachelor's degree in Media: Conception & Production consists of a total of 15 consecutive modules. Details can be found in the Examination Regulations.
A detailed overview of the individual modules can be found in the module handbook. Subject to change.
