Prerequisites

Bachelor of Science degree with at least the grade »good« in the Media Informatics degree programme or a first university degree recognised by the responsible examination board as relevant to the subject. Media technology, media informatics and computer science degree programmes as well as other technical-scientific degree programmes with media relevance are considered to be relevant.

applicants have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or a related field (e.g. Software or Medieninformatik/Computer Science for Digital Media), but Mathematics and Engineering are also possible.

When we review your application, we will check if you have completed a sufficient number of Mathematics and Computer Science courses:

** Mathematics and Computer Science amounting to the equivalent

of at least 90 ECTS points (approx.)

** Mathematics amounting to at least 15 ECTS points

** Computer Science amounting to at least 45 ECTS points

We also consider the specific courses you have taken; have you acquired certain core competences that we consider vital for you to succeed in our programme? These include solid programming skills and basic concepts in Discrete Mathematics, Software Engineering and Theoretical Computer Science.

If you fail to satisfy these requirements only narrowly, we may still accept your application, but with certain stipulations - namely one or two supplementary courses in order for you to catch up with the other students.

The prerequisite for admission to the Computer Science for Digital Media degree programme is a relevant Bachelor of Science degree. Relevant courses of study are computer science, computer engineering, media informatics, information technology, software engineering, or mathematics as well as other technical and scientific courses of study with a computer science focus.
