Intermedia designers develop contemporary, creative solutions in interactive digital media. Their latest possibilities are applied innovatively in conception, design and technology. These skills are increasingly in demand in promising professional fields, be it as game designer, web designer, motion designer, interface / interaction designer, user experience designer, conceptioner and some more.
The design of apps and web applications as well as other interactive media systems, the development of games or gamification applications, storytelling and staging in videos and animation up to networked products and applications are the main focus of the three- or four-semester master's program.
During your master's studies, you will deepen your knowledge of design within the framework of your master's project and acquire analytical and conceptual skills in accompanying courses. In this way, the degree program lays a practical, project-oriented and academic foundation for a career in digital media as well as for a further academic career.
The master of arts degree is the prerequisite for employment in higher or civil service and enables you to be admitted to a subsequent doctoral program. Furthermore, a scientific orientation enables you to work as a design author in the publishing sector as well as in publishing, education or research.
The Master's degree qualifies you for positions such as Art or Creative Director. As an intermediate designer you will work in agencies, publishing houses, design offices, cultural institutions as well as in design departments of industry and media. The master's degree also qualifies you for positions where a high degree of personal and professional competence is required. This includes team leadership, strategic planning and the ability to argue scientifically sound arguments in design projects.
In the exchange with other students and the discussion with lecturers you will learn to reflect on contents and methods and to develop your creative work further. Our master students learn to solve challenging and far-reaching tasks in small groups.
As you will be working in your studies of intermedial design in modern fields with high innovation potential, you will also have the option of working as a freelancer or entrepreneur later.
The basic building blocks of teaching - design, concept, technology, theory - are taught in application-oriented and project-based lessons.
In order to train students to become the creative personalities of tomorrow, teaching takes place in small groups. This offers plenty of time for intensive and individually tailored support by the lecturers. The course of study thus lays a practical, project-oriented and academic foundation for a career in digital media as well as for a further academic career.
Within the 4-semester program, an internship semester must be completed at home or abroad and/or a semester abroad
