The Science Council institutionally accredited the university as a non-profit organization in 2008 and 2015, followed by course accreditations for Bachelor and Master courses. Merz Akademie, University of Design, Art, and Media, Stuttgart has been the university's name since 2011. The Merz Academy's dedicated interest in the humanities, social and cultural sciences, design, art, and technology positions the university as an innovative place of learning between a traditional art academy, a design university, and a humanities faculty. The university's tasks include teaching, research, and further education activities that enable professional and academic education and further education of designers and authors in the media sector on a scientific, artistic, and technological basis. A semester abroad at a Merz Akademie partner university in Europe or outside of Europe can greatly enrich students' future professional and personal lives.
