In the constantly evolving media landscape, new types of tasks and communication spaces are constantly emerging that need to be shaped and designed. These include exhibitions, brand and trade fair presentations, visitor centers, and art installations. In order to offer visitors, consumers, and bystanders an unforgettable experience, stories need to be told in all kinds of ways – using humorous, objective, or evocative approaches. A story is told with all kinds of media – in different “voices”, i.e. with images, symbols, music, and sounds. This means that anything that can inform our senses becomes part of the communicative process.
For this reason, the Communication Design discipline draws on a full range of media tools. Students of Communication Design – Crossmedia Spaces learn how the individual tools can be molded together to form a greater whole. Using a range of types of media, a particular story is told in a context. A particular focus in this process is placed on the search for artistic and experimental forms of expression and non-linear narrative forms. The students learn, in an interdisciplinary team and in a co-creative team process, how to develop a cross-media design concept – the thematic and atmospheric design of a space for communication and interaction.

The degree program is divided into three areas:

Interdisciplinary and cross-media design
Artistic conception and design thinking
Team building and project management

What can I do with it?

The master's degree program trains experienced crossmedia and project designers of tomorrow. By developing natural creative thinking skills, Communication Design – Crossmedia Spaces graduates have the skills to develop information and communication spaces in all areas of society. Interactions with media productions may be used in all kinds of public and semi-public spaces – from museums and cultural institutions, to companies and museums. The role may also encompass the development of digital communication spaces, campaigns, and other communication measures With the program’s interdisciplinary and future-focused approach to teaching, graduates are equipped with the vital skills needed for assuming a creative leadership role. Communication Design – Crossmedia Spaces students have a world of design opportunities open to them in a rapidly changing media sector.

INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

What is it?

Research, industry and administration need professional specialists who, thanks to their extensive knowledge and wide range of skills in technical physics, engineering methods and modern technologies, can independently, quickly and confidently familiarize themselves with diverse tasks. Physics engineers are such specialists. They are able to adapt flexibly to the changing requirements of the market: they bridge the gap between science and technology.

The degree program thus covers a professional field that is located between, on the one hand, purely scientific and, on the other, classical engineering activities and is characterized by demanding interdisciplinary requirements and the increasingly important aspect of internationalization.

Students of the bachelor's degree program in Applied Physics acquire extensive fundamental knowledge of mathematics and technology. This is the basis for a comprehensive and practice-oriented introduction to the professional environment of laboratories, research and development institutes as well as engineering and design offices in one of the following areas of specialization, beginning in the 4th semester:

Materials science
Modeling and Simulation
Physical engineering

The latter area of specialization includes the widest range of subjects. The main areas of research in the laboratories in the physics department are micro- and nanotechnologies, photonics and renewable energies. The department also has laboratories for acoustics, nuclear technology, hydrogen technology, medical device technology, medical imaging, biosignal processing, biomechanics, ultra-short pulse laser technology and - as a special feature - its own clean room for microtechnology. Close cooperation with major research centers, research institutes, industry and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Rhine-Main region also ensures that the degree program is practice-oriented.

What can I do with it?

Physics engineers bridge the gap between current research and the development of new technologies, products and processes.

The professional profile that the graduates have developed is aligned to the objectives and standards of professional practice in application-related occupational fields, such as, depending on the chosen area of specialization, microsystems engineering, the semiconductor industry, electronics development, precision engineering, laser technology, the optical industry, the development of new materials or process development. The occupational fields can be found in the area of research and development in industrial research or research institutions and departments, in companies operating in advanced (new, interdisciplinary, often varying) technological fields (hi-tech companies, technology start-ups, etc.) as well as in engineering offices, patent law firms, authorities that require physical engineering know-how and sales companies in the field of technology.

As a further unique selling point, RheinMain University of Applied Sciences' physics department has designed a master's degree program in applied physics which is coordinated with the eponymous bachelor's degree program and which enhances and expands the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills acquired in the bachelor's degree program.

INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

What is it?

The range of tasks in architecture today increasingly necessitates a debate on and the examination of the programmatic and technical modification of existing buildings. The objective of the master's degree program is to train students to be creative, critical personalities with a high level of professional competence who are capable of developing ecologically, economically and socially responsible solutions for construction tasks in the triangle of conflicting priorities between rationality, knowledge and intuition. The fundamental knowledge and skills acquired in the bachelor's degree program are extended in terms of scientific expertise and methodology to include a strongly application-oriented focus on building revitalization and transformation.

What can I do with it?

Building revitalization and transformation is an increasingly important aspect of architects' work. Due to demographic developments, smaller construction tasks such as conversion or revitalization are to be expected in the housing sector, as are major changes in the way administrative buildings are used. Entire industrial sites in urban areas are also likely to be revitalized. In this context, architects will also be increasingly involved in architectural heritage conservation.

As a graduate of the degree program, you will be eligible to join the Chamber of Architects.

INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

What is it?

The Architectural Heritage Conservation (B.Sc.) program, unique in Germany, combines content from the fields of architecture, urban planning, engineering, built heritage preservation and cultural studies.

Historical buildings and sites as well as cultural landscapes contribute significantly to the distinctiveness and identity of cities and regions. Their preservation has become a vital component of the renewable energy transition and a successful response to climate change. To date, the construction sector consumes enormous material resources and is responsible for almost half of the world’s climate-damaging gases caused by the use of buildings and above all by their construction and demolition. There is a consensus among experts: in the future, the preservation and adaptation of the existing building stock must have priority over demolition and new construction.

In our practice-oriented degree program, you will carry out various study projects to learn how to recognize monument values and develop sustainable preservation, renovation, and conversion strategies.

The broad spectrum ranges from half-timbered barns to cathedrals, from the classical era to more recent building epochs, from individual components to cultural landscapes. Exciting teaching content is conveyed through national and international research projects. This includes the UNESCO Chair, which has been part of our department since 2022.

Our method portfolio includes construction research supported by drones and GIS-based mapping. You will learn how to draw, analyze, and design custom-fit proposals for sustainable renovation and conversion concepts. The analysis of scientific texts will help you to make your own well-founded assessments and to defend them in expert discussions.

The degree program is practice-based and project-oriented, with a focus on:

design, planning and building in the context of cultural heritage,
historic preservation and architectural history,
building preservation and restoration,
promoting and managing cultural heritage.

What can I do with it?

Many of our successful graduates work in the following areas, for example:

in architects’ and urban planning offices on the preservation and management of architectural heritage and the development and implementation of design and restoration concepts,
in city councils, municipalities and federal state authorities as specialists who are familiar with dealing with cultural heritage and have relevant interdisciplinary knowledge,
in specialized authorities, associations and non-governmental organizations,
in all public institutions which deal primarily with the preservation and management of culturally and historically valuable artifacts and building projects in existing structures.

INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

What is it?

Our society thrives on communication. Communication is everywhere. All around us, all kinds of messages are created that need to be delivered to the appropriate target groups. That’s where communications designers come in. They use creativity and design skills and draw on strategic, conceptional, and technological capabilities to ensure the different messages reach exactly the right places. Their role is to make sure the messages are received positively and are memorable. Communication Design students learn and refine all of the skills that are needed for this role. The degree program prepares students for the workforce – equipping them with what they need to find the right answers to the design challenges of our time, across all types of media.
There is no substitute for learning by doing – and intensive support is absolutely essential. That’s why student numbers each semester are carefully calculated, allowing this close supervision to be provided. In the first stage, all students participate in a common program that introduces them to the basics. The program familiarizes them with the various disciplines and creates awareness of what is needed for creative design. In the subsequent project-based component, students can pursue their specific interests. This allows them to develop their talents, specialize further, and work on bigger projects that integrate a range of media. These might include fields such as motion design, photography, interactive design, illustration, text, film, typography, and many more. Teamwork is always a big part of the degree program – just as it will be in the workplace later on. Generally speaking, we put a great deal of emphasis on practical relevance. This is made clear by the real-world tasks that are devised by and in cooperation with partner organizations from the worlds of culture, society, and business. The projects provide students with practical experience during their degree, calling for and fostering creativity, flexibility, and personal responsibility. Our international exchange program allows students to expand their cultural horizons, as well as their subject knowledge.

The degree program is structured into the following:

Program sections A + B (two semesters of fundamental principles)
Program section C (four semesters of project-based learning)
On-the-job training = internship (one semester)

During program sections A and B, all students study the same content. From program section C, the students are given a choice of project modules. This component is highly practical in nature. Students can expect to work on campaigns, animations, movies, spatial installations, and full exhibitions – and whatever else the elective projects may include. Students are also able to attend complementary production and theory courses.
The production modules cover technical aspects such as analog and digital design, storyboards, text, illustration, drawing, printing techniques, photo technology, and film and animation technology. The modules on theory cover communication theory, the psychology of perception, design and art history, conception and marketing, photography and film theory, start-up skills, law, finance and accounting, production, English for designers and other languages. Our students complete an internship module in study section C. The final project of the program is the bachelor’s thesis.

What can I do with it?

Communication designers think up and develop creative solutions: from the initial idea to the finished product. They plan media concepts and organize their implementation and production. This spectrum includes not only print, film and moving pictures, interactive media and event marketing, but also press and public relations. Creative professionals work in photo, film and television studios, in advertising and communication agencies, multimedia and design studios, in publishing houses, editorial offices as well as in companies in the field of art and culture and are now increasingly also found in specialized start-ups.

INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

What is it?

Our society is inconceivable without mobility – without it we would not be able to get to our workplaces, schools, shops, doctors, or meet friends, go to the cinema or a beer garden. Cars, buses, trains, roads, railways and airports are the building blocks of a highly complex transport system. To ensure that this system can function economically, reliably and in an environment-friendly way and that all its components interlock and work together, companies, public authorities and civil society must handle a wide range of management tasks.

Graduates of the Mobility Management degree program are responsible for these tasks. They analyze our traffic problems both from a technical planning perspective and from a socio-scientific perspective, develop new, innovative solutions based on a user perspective and implement the solutions in a sustainable way. Mobility management consists of three pillars, which are of equal importance in the degree program:

Traffic and mobility engineering: The analysis of planning procedures, designing infrastructures or the conceptual design of transport networks are tasks that require an engineering approach.

Subjective mobility behaviour: Transport and mobility is organized by people for people. Individual mobility behaviour is the basis of transport demand. Mobility behaviour is influenced by a variety of factors. Whether these can be attributed to the situation, the available transport services or the individual in question, they can be empirically measured and statistically analyzed. Such analyses are used to design and develop means of transport and are thus an important component of the transport system of the future.

Institutions: Our transport system is managed and developed by various parties. This often requires highly dynamic and apparently unpredictable economic, legal and political processes. In this context, management means understanding the dynamics of social systems and intelligently influencing them.

What can I do with it?

Mobility is a topic that affects everyone in their own immediate environment. Graduates of the Mobility Management degree program therefore have access to a wide range of very diverse occupational fields. They work, for example, as traffic planners in public authorities or planning offices, as designers of mobility concepts in companies or as consultants in the development of innovative mobility services.
