B.A. in Time-Based Media
A degree program introduces itself
In the bachelor's degree program Time-Based Media you will be trained in media design specifically for the audiovisual and interactive media sector. This is the essential distinction from classic communication design, in which the print media are much more at the center of the work. Currently, the field of media design includes the bachelor's and master's degree programs in time-based media. In addition to the classical training for film and video, you will be taught the areas of 2D and 3D animation as well as the design and implementation of interactive and multimedia media concepts. This includes the targeted and highly developed use of the computer for the required design solutions, which is why you should not be afraid of using computers. The program covers a wide range of audiovisual and electronic media and design technologies. You are taught sound knowledge and experience of the design process, from strictly purpose-oriented application to free artistic experimentation. In addition, you will learn a broad spectrum of technological basics. All media interact with each other and are part of the social culture. Therefore, the examination of the history of media and communication as well as sociological foundations of media and communication science are further important areas of work. Professional and media economic, legal and organizational aspects are also part of your training. Projects from the degree program:

In the first semester, you will take required courses in typography, design, animation, film and computer science, as well as a scientific prep course with different basics.
The courses offered in these semesters are divided into three areas: Applied and Experimental Design, Media Basis and Design and Media Theory.
The projects in the seminars on applied design are primarily practice-oriented. The projects Experimental Design, on the other hand, tend to be free artistic works. The media basis is anchored in the three focal points of animation, film and interaction and combines creative, technical and practical implementation.
The theory courses in the bachelor's program are divided into design and media theory (media history, art and cultural history, media theory) and media management (conception, presentation, production).

In the last semester, in addition to the bachelor's thesis, two courses in the field of media management are planned, each comprising six semester hours per week.
