Competent and versatile
Teaching and research at the Faculty Media Sciences are essentially based on three pillars:
- Technological excellence: A precise command of acoustics and signal processing lays the foundation for every experience.
- Symbiosis of content and technology: The close integration of technical implementation and creative vision enables the creation of modern content for both digital and traditional platforms.
- Global connectivity: Strategic thinking and the overcoming of cultural barriers ensure that messages are effectively communicated in an interconnected global economy.
Working within state-of-the-art facilities yields solutions that demonstrate both technical precision and commercial foresight. In this way, the Faculty acts as a hotbed of innovation for professionals who can holistically manage complex production processes, tell stories across platforms and professionally design international communication spaces.
Our key areas
Media Management
The Media Management degree programme trains the next generation of cross-platform media professionals. At one of Europeās most modern media centres, youāll learn not only to conceive stories for a single channel, but also to link them creatively across print, radio, video and events.
Media Technology
The Media Technology programme at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences closely combines technical expertise with content creation, equipping students with the skills to professionally plan and produce content for channels such as social media, podcasts, traditional television and virtual video productions.
Audio Engineering
Audio and Acoustical Engineering is the discipline that can greatly enhance the audienceās enjoyment, as it is not only the artistsā craft that matters, but also the technical conditions. This discipline combines highly specialised engineering knowledge with a passion for perfect sound. Here, complex sound engineering and acoustic challenges are analysed and solutions devised.
Intercultural Communication
This area of expertise within the Faculty Media Sciences focuses on the intersection of business, media studies and global storytelling. The emphasis is on the ability to successfully convey complex messages across linguistic and cultural barriers. The German perspective is consistently enriched by international comparisons and a sound knowledge of languages.

Our projects
The MediaTechSpace in Leipzig is a space for experimentation and development in the field of innovative media technologies. Here, new forms of production are tested, prototypes are developed and creative ideas are combined with technological expertise.
The centre builds a bridge between higher education, the creative industries and technological development ā and opens up new perspectives for the media production of tomorrow.
The Mittweida Media Forum is Germanyās largest student-organised media conference. Every year, it brings together representatives from the media, business and society to discuss current developments.
Students are responsible for the concept, organisation and implementation ā and create a platform that has an impact far beyond the campus.
The Mittweida Campus Festival is one of the largest student-organised festivals in Germany. Over the course of a year, students plan, organise and stage the two-day event ā from booking and production right through to media coverage.
This process results not only in events but also in extensive media productions: video content, social media campaigns and journalistic content. The Campus Festival combines event management with practical media experience and demonstrates how ideas are turned into real-world formats.
A key component of the faculty is its own media formats, which are developed and produced by students.
These include the radio station 99drei Radio Mittweida, the online portal medienMITTWEIDA, and TV productions such as the āMittnight Showā, which are streamed live on the Faculty Media Sciencesā YouTube channel.
Here, journalistic features, entertainment programmes and cross-media formats are created ā under real-world conditions and with a live audience.
