Media Informatics
More about the course
The interdisciplinary bachelor's degree program in media informatics combines the content of a classic computer science degree (practical, technical and theoretical computer science as well as mathematics) with design and multimedia content. You will learn the important basics in lectures in particular and then discuss, use and deepen these in supervised exercises, practice-oriented laboratories, interactive seminars, research-oriented group projects and the scientific bachelor thesis. Here you give free rein to your ideas and work, for example, with 3D printers, drones, frameworks, games, artificial intelligence, robots, social media, user experience tools, VR glasses and websites.

What does the Media Informatics degree programme look like?
Our Media Informatics bachelor's programme combines the content of a traditional computer science degree with design and multimedia content. You will learn the fundamentals of the programme in lectures and then deepen your knowledge in supervised exercises, practice-oriented labs, interactive seminars, group projects and your bachelor's thesis. Here, you will give free rein to your ideas and work with 3D printers, drones, frameworks, AI, robots, user experience tools and VR glasses, for example.
Understanding the Fundamentals of
Interactive visual design, programming, Mathematics, databases and theoretical and technical methods form the foundation of the programme. You will learn this step by step in interesting lectures, practical exercises and application-orientated projects. You will acquire a versatile skillset that will form the foundation stone for a successful degree programme.
Set priorities
Building on the Fundamentals of the programme, you will go into greater depth. In advanced lectures, exercises and seminars, you set your own focus and develop your skills according to your own wishes. Here you can give free rein to your ideas and work, for example, with augmented reality (AR), data science, computer vision, deep learning, artificial intelligence, neuroinformatics, human-computer interaction, visual computing and web engineering.
Realise projects
In small groups, you will develop ideas for exciting projects and realise them as a team, from conception to implementation. You will receive individual support from motivated lecturers. For example, you will apply agile software development, computer graphics, computer vision, design thinking, interactive storytelling, interactive information design, human resources fabrication, software engineering and user-centred design in practice.
Create knowledge
At the end of your degree programme, you will be able to demonstrate the knowledge you have gained in a research project of your choice - your bachelor's thesis. You will develop new concepts, solutions and applications in the fields of apps, autonomous vehicles, drones, edutainment, games, innovative interaction concepts, artificial intelligence, Medicine visualisations, social networks and websites.
Got curious? Then come along and see everything for yourself. Once a year, students present the results of their projects and final theses in a spotlight. Our subject information days, study information days, taster lectures and our appearances at education fairs also offer a very good opportunity to take a direct look at studying. In everyday life, tutorials and exercises usually take place in small groups. You can have interesting conversations with students from higher semesters in the corridors or in the courtyard and you can usually drop in spontaneously for meetings with lecturers. The hierarchy in Media Informatics is very flat - so you're sure to bump into one or two doctoral students or lecturers at one of the numerous university parties.
During your Media Informatics degree programme, you will design and implement varied and creative projects in exercises, Applied subjects, the software internship and your bachelor's thesis
Routes abroad
A great way to broaden your horizons in a discipline is to study at a foreign university. Ulm University students can apply for one or two semesters abroad at numerous universities, both throughout Europe as part of the ERASMUS programme and outside Europe. If lectures are not required, internships and theses at other universities are also possible.
Ulm University has exchange agreements with over 100 universities in 26 countries.
