Digital Media and Technology (M.Sc.)

About

Computers and the internet have an enormous influence on todays communication. Media are digitally conceived, designed, produced, transferred, stored, and used.

Interdisciplinary skills are essential at all levels of media production, transfer, and application. These developments are reflected in the joint masters degree in Digital Media and Technology offered by Technische UniversitBerlin (TU Berlin), Freie UniversitBerlin (FU Berlin) and Humboldt-UniversitBerlin (HU Berlin). The masters program builds on the bachelors degree jointly offered by TU Berlin and FU Berlin, with HU Berlin joining the masters program as the third partner. The three Berlin universities, working in collaboration with the FilmuniversitBabelsberg Konrad Wolf, have combined their strengths to create a unique and exciting program, striking out on a new path in digital media and technology. TU Berlin is responsible for areas of the curriculum focusing on computer science, mathematics, and technology, while the communication and social science components are taught at FU Berlin. HU Berlin completes the curriculum, providing courses in media law. The program runs parallel at all three universities and equips students with the knowledge and skills to pursue a career with prospects at the exciting intersection of software development, digital media technology, journalism and communication science, media research as well as media law and media management.

As a graduate you acquire a thorough technical knowledge of the conditions, structures, processes, content, and impacts of media communication as well as the ability to implement this knowledge within computer-mediated and network-based communication. You deepen your technical knowledge and gain an insight into current research topics in the various fields involved, with seminars, projects, and the masters thesis all very closely linked to the latest research work.

However, you also acquire knowledge and skills beyond these technical fields: The program further equips you with the skills to make sense of complex ideas and to present and communicate these effectively, to conduct your work with social responsibility, to participate in interdisciplinary, multi-cultural teams as well as develop outstanding social and communication skills. As a graduate of the program you can either immediately start your career or pursue a doctorate.
