Practical relevance as a success factor

All lecturers at the Media University are characterized by extensive practical experience and strong networks in the business world, and our students benefit directly from this through the close support they receive in their everyday studies.

With its three locations in Berlin, Cologne and Frankfurt am Main, the Media University is also in close proximity to attractive cooperation partners from the media industry, the private sector and the public sector, which guarantees the integration of theory and practice in Media University studies.

The Career Service supports students in their search for internships, working student jobs and, in the dual study program, in finding company cooperation partners.

Examples of cooperation projects from the study program

Newsroom at the re:publica

Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Ranty Islam, journalism students from Media University Berlin ran the newsroom at re:publica 18, which took place in Berlin from 2 to 4 May 2018. The conference, entitled “POP”, was dedicated to popular media phenomena and was attended by over 9,000 participants. The Master’s students in the Journalism department provided live multimedia reporting on site, supported by lecturers and design students. This collaboration was part of the university’s MediaLab, which prepared the group for reporting.

Concepts for the RTL Deutschland media group

In the summer semester of 2019, students at Media University Cologne developed concepts for recruiting and HR marketing at Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland as part of a practical project. In the “Corporate Communications Practice” module, 24 students developed ideas for a new careers website and recruiting measures on Instagram. At the beginning of July, the students successfully presented their results to RTL employees in Cologne, who were delighted with the diverse ideas and the overall concept developed.

Series of articles in Frankfurter Rundschau

In Science Year 2019, journalism students at Media University Frankfurt are focusing on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI). They interviewed experts on the potential applications, opportunities and risks of AI. The resulting articles were published in a series in the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper. Prof. Dr. Katja Gußmann emphasizes that the project is intended to help raise awareness and reduce fears. A multimedia report, in cooperation with the University and University of Applied Sciences Würzburg, accompanies the project. Other media partners include the Main-Post and Bayerischer Rundfunk.

International and diverse

The Media University is international. Not only our worldwide network of partner universities, but above all the teaching staff and students themselves are the best evidence of interculturalism on campus.

The self-image of the Media University is based on humanistic-democratic values such as openness and tolerance. It therefore actively supports the relevant international conventions and legal requirements: The Media University promotes equal opportunity participation of all people in an inclusive, solidary learning and working community.
