Digital Media

Overview

The master’s degree programme Digital Media offered by Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences focuses on fields that employ digital media and technologies to develop new products and services which transfer knowledge and ensure great interaction experience. Digital exhibits used at trade-fairs, digital services for theatres, apps that might visualise the solar system or interfaces for home networking solutions, are just a few examples of the challenges that digital communication, information and interaction might have to meet. 

Whenever we want to communicate complex content, design an interactive experience or tell multi-layered digital stories, we need approaches far beyond established forms of communication and interaction. We designed our degree to equip you with the skills and versatility to remain successful amidst this rapidly changing and increasingly complex professional environment. As a graduate you will benefit from the hands-on experience you have acquired and will be excellently prepared to develop and successfully implement digital projects across specialisms.

Career prospects

As the lines between scientific disciplines become increasingly blurred, interdisciplinary team work is an inevitable part of computer scientists‘ as well as designers‘ professional life. Our degree programme aims to equip you for a career that matches these current and future labour market trends.The personal, professional and technical skills you acquire, will give you a competitive edge when it comes to addressing tasks that involve profound knowledge across specialisms in the fields of technology, computer sciences and design.
