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.

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.
