Stuttgart Media University is a public university of applied sciences in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Stuttgart Media University (Hochschule der Medien) is a public university of applied sciences with a focus on media production, communication, design, computing, information science, publishing, printing, packaging and media management Its institutional history includes 1903—the founding in Stuttgart of a predecessor school for printing and graphic arts. Printing technology and publishing were institutional strengths in the long run. Today, its academic profile is characterised by audiovisual media, advertising, communication, computer science, information design, information science, media management, publishing, printing, packaging, public relations and digital products. Location matters: Stuttgart offers direct access to employers in the automotive, engineering, software, broadcasting, publishing, advertising, design, cultural, packaging, and corporate-communication fields. The master file contains 18 undergraduate and 18 postgraduate entries in the course portfolio. Where appropriate, subject combinations are aggregated under the parent degrees. Examples for undergraduate studies are Advertising and Market Communications, Audiovisual Media, Computer Science and Media, Crossmedia Publishing and Management, Digital and Media Management, Information Design, Digital Media Business, Motion Design, Media Engineering. Postgraduate study includes Audiovisual Media, Business Management, Computer Science and Media, Crossmedia Publishing and Management, Data Science and Business Analytics, Digital Design, Creative Technologies, Digital Product Management, Library and Information Management. Each course remains the parent qualification and specialisations are recorded within the course entry and not misrepresented as separate degrees. Digital, print, publishing and communication specialisms remain part of official parent qualifications, while technically separate production, computing, design and management degrees are kept separate. Admission is centrally administered at the program level. Usually you can apply for a bachelor’s through Hochschulstart and the HdM portal. For the master’s, foreign qualifications, portfolios, pre-study experience, language evidence and academic requirements are different depending on the particular program. Before submitting, you should check the language of instruction, the semester you can start, the subject requirements, the selection process and the way you have to submit your documents. International School or University Qualifications External evaluation, certified translations, APS documentation where applicable or other proof of academic equivalence may be required. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, portfolios, writing samples, professional experience or interviews. Admission to the doctoral program is separate from admission to the bachelor's or master's program and normally requires a feasible research proposal, eligible supervision and formal admission by the responsible faculty. For regular degrees, tuition for EU and EEA students is usually free. Under state law, most non-EU students pay €1,500 per semester plus €191.50 in current enrolment contributions, charges that are separate for second-degree and continuing programs. These fees are institutional and do not include rent, health insurance, food, didactic materials, residence procedures, project costs, and private travel. If provided for by the relevant law or program regulation, special tuition may be provided for continuing-education, distance-learning, joint, second-degree, or long-term study formats. Funding (e.g. BAföG for eligible students, Deutschlandstipendium, DAAD and Erasmus+ mobility support, foundations, research employment or university-specific awards) is available, but each funding application is evaluated separately from admission. Career preparation reflects the subject mix of the university and is not a guarantyd placement scheme. Media houses, broadcasters, agencies, publishers, software companies, manufacturers, cultural organisations, design studios and corporate communication teams support projects, internships and careers. Students can build professional readiness through internships, applied projects, research assistantships, employer events, language development, entrepreneurship services, international mobility and a thesis in partnership with an external organization. The HdM is a good choice for students who want an unusually broad media portfolio, mixing creative practice, technology, production, information and management.
