What is it?
Media Computer Science is an interdisciplinary degree program that combines computer science with design qualifications. The aim is to provide practical, rigorous, and broad computer science training. Topics covered include user-centric design and the development of interactive applications relating to web, mobile computing, computer graphics and games, VR/AR, AI, and many other fields.
The core of the degree program is computer science. This means that it is a fully-fledged computer science degree that covers, among other things, many computer science topics that relate to conception and development:
- Programming with current system, script, and markup languages
- Software development, databases, networks for distributed systems on the Internet, cloud and mobile applications
- Interactive applications, web, computer graphics, and AI-related issues
- Agile software technology concepts for analysis, modeling of application scenarios, and implementation of these using topical examples
The computer science focus is usefully complemented by instruction on media and design. The design training includes the following:
- Typography, colors, and layout
- Responsive design
- Interaction design
- UX and UI design
- Motion design
During the degree program, you will work on specific projects that integrate the different viewpoints of the development process. This ensures that you will be very well prepared for your future career.

The degree program Media Computer Science is also available as a cooperative degree program. Prospective students can select a version which includes work experience. In addition to the higher education entrance qualification, applicants must also have a study contract with a partner company of RheinMain University of Applied Sciences in order to enroll for the cooperative degree program. Detailed information about the concept of the cooperative degree program and the partner companies can be found here: "Duales Studium Informatik an der Hochschule RheinMain". A flyer is also available which provides an overview: Die dualen Informatikstudiengänge (PDF 2,5 MB)
For questions about the cooperative degree program and the partner companies, please contact Andrea Ackermann-Rostek. For more general advice, please contact Student Advisory Services.
