Today, digital media and information technology play an important role in almost every company. Digital media is produced because websites and social media pages are offered. And every company uses information technology, for example, to develop apps, use internet services and standard software, and operate online shops. It is precisely these aspects and the field where they intersect that our degree program has been bringing together since 2011: Media, IT & Management.

Digital Media Management focuses on the conception, production and marketing of digital media. In all three steps, business management, technical and design skills are equally required. The degree program aims at the development and, in particular, the integrative combination of these competences. Business economists develop strategies and marketing concepts for media products (logical view), media designers design the user interface and the information architecture (external view), application developers program the corresponding software applications, system integrators administer hardware and software (internal view).

Dual degree programs combine career entry with studies. You will acquire both a university degree at the university and a qualification in a vocational occupation. In addition to students combining studies and vocational training, the degree program is also open to students combining their studies with their jobs, who then work at their companies from Monday to Thursday and want to further qualify themselves in a degree program on Fridays and Saturdays and prepare themselves for future management tasks.
