A wide range of English-taught programmes

Macromedia is a private, state-recognized university offering numerous bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes — especially strong in media, management, design, digital technologies, and creative industries. 

At its international campuses (Munich and Berlin) you can find English-taught courses in fields such as media & communication design, digital technologies & coding, business management, acting, film & TV, fashion, psychology and more. 

This breadth makes it attractive for international students — whether you’re focused on creative industries, tech, business, or a mix — and gives flexibility in shaping your academic path.


Practice-oriented teaching with industry focus

Macromedia emphasizes real-world preparation: its teaching model combines lectures, seminars, exercises, and workshops — often with hands-on, project-based components. 

Thanks to partnerships with over 500 companies (from large multinational firms to startups), students get access to internships, industry projects and real work experience. 

This practical orientation helps bridge academic learning and job market demands — a big plus if you want to graduate well-prepared for a career in media, digital business or creative sectors.


International and diverse student community

Macromedia welcomes students from many countries: programmes frequently include classmates from 70+ to 80+ nationalities. 

Being part of a diverse, multicultural environment helps broaden your perspectives — valuable not only for studying but for building networks in global industries.

The university’s affiliation with an international education network (Galileo Global Education) also underscores its global outlook and connections.

Multiple campuses across Germany, international study at Munich & Berlin

Macromedia has several campuses across Germany, but its English-taught international programmes are offered at Munich and Berlin — ideal for students who prefer an English-medium degree. 

These campuses are located in major German cities, giving you access to vibrant urban life, industry hubs, and cultural opportunities.

Blended, flexible and industry-relevant learning

The teaching at Macromedia combines traditional classroom lectures with modern formats: campus sessions, expert-led sessions, and guided learning — balancing theory and practical work. 

Small group sizes and close cooperation with lecturers (many of whom come from industry) support personalised guidance and mentoring. 

Especially for international students, this teaching model helps adapt more easily, offering support and a hands-on, real-world oriented education.


Strong focus on employability and real-world readiness

Most degree programmes include internships, projects with industry partners, or mandatory practical semesters — giving students a chance to build real working experience before graduation. 

Alumni often find jobs in media, tech, creative industries, business or start-ups. The practical training offers a competitive advantage when entering the job market in Germany or internationally.

Welcoming international students & global community

Macromedia’s student body includes a large proportion of international students — creating a welcoming, multicultural environment. 

For non-German speakers, the availability of English-taught programmes at Munich and Berlin campuses simplifies the transition and removes language barriers.


Pathways for global careers or further studies

Because the degrees are state-recognized and many programmes include international components, graduates often have flexibility: you can pursue careers in German, European or global markets — or continue with master’s or postgraduate studies. 

Macromedia’s connection to a global education group provides extra mobility and networking opportunities beyond Germany.

  • Strong focus on digital transformation, media, design, and creative industries — aligning with fast-growing sectors globally. 
  • Broad programme offering: from management and business to creative arts, film & acting, digital technologies, design and psychology — giving students many paths to choose.
