About

SaarbrÃ¼cken is one of the first places in Germany where one can study in such an integrated Master's programme. It has an excellent research reputation both in computer science and mathematics. The renowned Max Planck Institutes for Computer Science and Software Systems as well as the German Center for Artificial Intelligence and the Helmholtz Center for Information Security (CISPA) are on the campus, and they create a stimulating international research environment. One of the defining features of Saarland University's MSc programme in Media Informatics is that it combines practical relevance with a firm grounding in the underlying scientific principles. Students acquire the analytical, creative, and practical skills that are needed to develop software and systems used in digital media. Students also receive training in the necessary design skills through a cooperative arrangement with Saarland's University of Art and Design (HBKsaar). Students take courses in media informatics and informatics. They carry out a media art and design project and also spend a practical work experience phase in a company active in the field. Soft-skill seminars are also offered. These seminars allow students to develop their communication, presentation, and rhetorical skills while consolidating and applying the theoretical knowledge acquired in the taught courses. During the semester-long work experience phase, students gain insight into and an understanding of the professional world of digital media and multimedia technologies. The project-based curriculum enables students to hone their practical media skills and encourages interdisciplinary teamwork. Students are also provided with an opportunity to participate in current research projects and thus lay the foundation for a future academic career.
