Macromedia University of Applied Sciences is a multi-campus university privately sponsored by Macromedia GmbH, based in Stuttgart, with other locations in Munich, Freiburg, Frankfurt/Main, Cologne, Leipzig, Hamburg and Berlin. Due to the central location of Macromedia’s city campuses, we can offer our current 4,500 students a stimulating urban study environment that also permits easy access to students from surrounding regions.
Macromedia University and its sister institution, Macromedia Academy, are part of the international education group of Galileo Global Education, which operates a network of 45 schools and universities for a total of 120,000 students at 85 campuses across 13 countries.
This internationalism also shapes the culture at our Macromedia locations. We have the pleasure of welcoming up to 80 different nationalities to our degree programmes. Overall, Macromedia University offers a wide range of state-recognised bachelor’s and master’s degrees in German and English, currently with 15 degree programmes with 106 specialisations.
The courses offered by our university focus on media, management and communication, digital technologies and design, sports, psychology, games, journalism, film, fashion, music, and acting. Each speciality is linked to international research, or artistic activity, and feeds our knowledge transfer into the economy.
- Macromedia University of Applied Sciences holds program accreditations from the external accreditation agencies FIBAA and ZEvA and, since 2019, from its own accreditation bodies.
- Internationally recognised degrees
All of the bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes at Macromedia University are officially recognised by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts. You can obtain the internationally sought-after Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts and Master of Business Administration degrees from us.
- Study abroad without wasting time
A semester abroad is integrated as part of our Media Management, Management, Media and Communication Design, and Film and Television bachelor’s degree programmes. The semester abroad will then form part of your study plan, allowing you to stay at a partner university without losing time.
- Practical and professionally relevant projects
Our workshops, study-related projects and the practical semester in the bachelor’s degree programme give you an early and realistic insight into what working life might be like after graduation. Of course, you can define your own specialities and choose the practical projects that you’re especially interested in.
- Great career prospects through cooperation
Macromedia University of Applied Sciences works together with more than 500 practical partners across all disciplines. These include well-known names such as Microsoft, cult car brand Mini and media group RTL. But smaller companies and innovative start-ups are part of our network too, so you’ll get a realistic impression of the working world and excellent career prospects.
- Intensive learning on campus, plus blended components
You’ll study in small groups on campus and enjoy direct interaction with your lecturers and fellow students. This allows you to build valuable social networks that will help you during your studies and afterwards. Small campus learning groups are combined with blended components geared entirely to the needs of students.
