The cooperative degree program in media engineering is aimed at prospective students who, as well as aiming to attain an academic degree, would also like to gain practical experience in an industrial enterprise. This degree program offers the ideal combination of academic studies and professional work experience. The internships are scheduled during the semester breaks.

In the first segment of studies, lasting three semesters, students learn the basic principles of mathematics and electrical engineering. The four following semesters of specialization focus mainly on various aspects of media technology with additional focus on the areas of software development and networks. The degree program is supplemented by non-technical subjects such as sales, marketing and project management. One of the highlights of the degree program’s overall hands-on approach is the TV production internship, which is carried out in a state-of-the-art training studio.
