At Macromedia University, students can boost their professional career with an international degree in Media, Business, Management, Art or Design at a top-ranking private university in Germany. Here, students can choose from bachelor’s and master’s programmes that are taught entirely in English. Digitalisation and technology-driven innovation are built into the curriculum with hands-on experience.
All degree programmes are accredited according to German higher education law, recognised by the state ministry of Baden-Württemberg. In 2016, the Science Council confirmed the institutional accreditation. In addition to a doctorate, professors have at least five years of successful industry experience.
