Great place for middle aged students
Great University for older students with professional experience. The course has a lot of practical relevance. Well-selected lecturers who are well suited to the respective topic. The university is located in a beautiful area on the Danube with many opportunities on and around the campus.
Studying media arts cultures
Media Arts Cultures is a two-year high-mobility program, enables students to study across Europe and in Asia. Students spend three semesters at different universities, complete an internship at a Consortium Associated Partner, and write a Master Thesis at the best-suited partner during the final semester.
My opinion
The program is very interesting and diverse, but its implementation needs improvement
