Bachelor of Media Informatics (B.Sc.)
Standard period of study: 6 semesters
Start: Winter semester
Type of admission: Admission-free
Do you believe that technology should make life easier and better? Then study media informatics! It's all about computers, apps and digital media - but with a focus on people. How should programs be designed so that they are easy to use? How do we develop software that not only works, but is also fun and secure? How can computer science help people to solve important problems in the areas of health, climate change, transport, aviation and shipping, administration or security?
On the Media Informatics course, you will learn to combine computer science with psychology and design. This will ideally prepare you to competently help shape the future of mankind in the age of digitalization and artificial intelligence.
Why study Media Informatics?
✅ Are you fascinated by new technology and want to play an active role in shaping it?
✅ Do you want to learn how to program and design digital systems?
✅ Do you see complex problems as a challenge rather than an obstacle?
✅ Do you enjoy teamwork and developing creative solutions for people?
Then come to the University of Lübeck and study Media Informatics in the Bachelor's or Master's program! Here you will get the perfect combination of science and practice - with current research projects and real applications. Sounds exciting? Then join us and help shape the digital future - in an innovative, research-oriented and responsible way!
My aim is to make an individual mark in the development of systems. But designing technology also requires programming skills and a good grasp of mathematical challenges.

Media informatics is computer science with and for people: The focus is not only on computers, algorithms and artificial intelligence, but also on how these can be put to good use for people and society.
We always teach computer science in conjunction with psychology, ergonomics and design. This is about more than just technical functions, but about how computers can make people more creative, productive and intelligent and how they can help with problems such as coastal protection, climate protection, accessibility and security.
We teach and apply modern methods for human-centered development and the design of safe and ergonomic human-computer systems - at a university where teaching is closely linked to cutting-edge research, science and technology.
With its interdisciplinary focus, the Media Informatics degree program is the ideal preparation for helping to shape the digital world and artificial intelligence of tomorrow.
The focus of media informatics on human-centered technology development means that design, psychology and social, political and ecological issues play a greater role than in computer science studies. This is possible because media informatics dispenses with some of the mathematical, technical or algorithmic courses of traditional computer science.
However, this means that media informatics is not a "study light": instead of mathematical and technical basics, there is sophisticated content from psychology, statistics and design!
