Media Technology – (B.Eng.)

Vocation and Activities of Bachelor in Media Technology

The Department of Media Technology trains engineers who are able to act independently and responsibly in business and society. Engineering methods, technical skills and knowledge can be combined with media cultural knowledge, fundamentals of media design and important aspects of content as well as generally important elements of management such as project management and business administration. The media technician has a very important integrative function in operation, by combining computer science with content, technology and design, and products with ergonomics.

There are career opportunities in all areas in which media are used and produced. Not only media companies such as film and radio, but many other businesses that work in the field of communication, entertainment and Internet presentation employ media technicians.
Public service and independence provide further development opportunities.

Course Sequence

The study of media technology comprises seven semesters including one practical semester. A pre-study before studying and an internship in the semester is not mandatory but is recommended. The course is laid out on a very broad band and consists of five semesters of lectures and practical terms. In the seventh semester the Bachelor's thesis is written and is usually carried out in a media institution or a media company or can be created in the well-equipped laboratories of the university.

In the third semester students have to specialize (Media Design or Media Computer Science can be chosen).

In addition to the internship the practical skills will be completed by case studies, projects and exercises.

One theoretical study term, the industrial internship or Bachelor's thesis can be completed abroad.

Degree/Graduation

With the successful completion of the tests and the final thesis, the degree of Bachelor of Engineering Media Technology " is awarded by the Deggendorf University of Applied Sciences.

Specialization

Media Design
The aim of the study media design focus is to impart knowledge on the production-development, design, implementation and commercialization of technologies and content of the three areas of print, TV / film and radio. These practice-oriented projects are dealt with in the following topics:

* Digital Graphic Design
* 3-D graphics and animation
* Internet TV and Internet Radio
* TV magazine articles, documentaries
* Digital audio and video technology
* CD-ROMs, radio reports, music clips
* Commercials and radio dramas

Media computer science
The aim of the study media computer science is to impart knowledge of new media, and related computer technology. The following specific subject areas are covered:

* Development of software systems
* Design of software interfaces
* Computer networks and their services
* Graphic and web programming
* Internet technologies and Internet applications
* Applications for mobile devices

Study objective

The program provides technical and media-based cultural knowledge, which is increasingly needed to help shape the globalizing and integrating developments in the information society. So, scientific engineering knowledge, computer science and techniques of digital media design, journalism and business aspects are combined to enable students to become self-responsible engineers.

Through a comprehensive education in basic subjects, students should be able to recognize the important relationships of relevant areas of knowledge and apply engineering knowledge and methods. The training in relevant subjects also enables them to recognize the impact of engineering activities on the environment and society and negative trends as far as possible. The students gain important knowledge in order to manage projects, productions, research and developments in media technology as responsibly as possible.

The course is designed for engineering activities in the following fields:

* Development and Design
* Production and Uptake
* Quality Assurance
* Design and Project Management
* Sales and Marketing
* Service and Consulting
* Editorial and Management
* Surveillance and Evaluation
* Research and development of the car, entertainment equipment or industrial
* Self-order

Special attention is payed in order to offer a diversified, qualified and multidisciplinary training which enables graduates to work in various occupations.
