What? A dual study programme in the field of media, user experience and web design offers the opportunity to kick start your career and apply what you learn to real life scenarios.  As a prospective media designer, you will receive a fixed salary - even during the three-month theory phases at university. In addition, you can work directly with your partner company on practical media design tasks. 

Where? You will complete your practical phases in our fancy office in Munich, right in the trendy Schwabing district. A free coffee machine, a PlayStation - and lots of nice colleagues await you here. We look forward to meeting you! Do you prefer to work remotely? No problem! Many of our colleagues also work from the comfort of their own homes or enjoy a hybrid way of working – we’ll support whatever works best for you. 

During the theory phases, you will attend lectures and seminars at the DHBW Ravensburg location. There, you will learn everything about web design, media design and motion design. The three-month theory and practical phases alternate; the degree programme lasts a total of six semesters.

When? Every year in October, we offer prospective undergraduate students the opportunity to study media design - one starts in Munich at Merkle, the other at the DHBW Ravensburg.
