Objective

Mittweida media managers form the new generation of media creators.

For us, one medium is not enough. We don't just produce for one channel like television or radio. We want to tell stories that can be read on paper, heard on the radio, felt at events, and seen in videos.

In Germany's most modern academic media center, all possibilities are open to you: A television studio, visual effects and post-production, a digital print shop, the radio station 99-drei, and of course the infinite online world. Here you'll experience what holds media together technically, in terms of content and economics. You'll learn how to creatively weave media together yourself.

In practical projects such as medienMITTWEIDA, the Mittweida Campus Festival and the Media Forum, you'll immediately put what you've learned into practice under real-life conditions, expanding your skills and interests as you go.
