Career Prospects
Graduates of the Media Computer Science degree course are active in a wide variety of fields within the IT sector, as well as in telecommunications and production companies, in advertising agencies or PR departments.From the initial proposal to the final programming, they produce multimedia customer information systems, educational software and 3D games. They use accepted programming languages as well as authoring systems. Graduates also develop such production tools independently, for example, for particularly complex tasks, new standards or as help for users which lack the otherwise required special knowledge. They engage in a broad scope of tasks such as planning and administration of computer networks (intranet, internet, security), the development of larger websites from design to testing user-friendliness and database programming. Cellular networks and mobile devices from mobile phones to PDAs to tablet PCs are increasingly gaining in importance.
Graduates’ broad course of study qualifies them particularly for sales and support of hardware and software relating to media. During their studies, they have experienced through examples from their own work how the components of technical media systems relate to one another, how such systems are best designed, what common errors appear and how to quickly identify them or prevent them wherever possible.
