Quality certification and accreditations are Programme Accreditations - All three study programs of DEKRA | Hochschule fur Medien (Film and Television, Journalism and PR, Communication Management) have been accredited by the Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency (ZEvA -Zentrale Evaluations- und Akkreditierungsagentur).

At the core of our mission statement is the interaction between media and society. As a young media university, we see our task as offering high quality and effective study program that will prepare our students for the demands of a complex, ever-changing media world. Recent developments and job requirements of both the national and international media industries are always featured in our curricula.
Given our core purpose, we offer a hands-on and business-oriented approach in our teaching and training, where theory and practice are closely linked. We have designed our available course offering to be academically sound as well as practical.
The students' profiles, combined with their future career options, form the foundation of this practical, real-world approach. That is why our study courses are designed with in-built flexibility, which empowers students to find their way, based on their educational and professional profiles and their subsequent choice of specialization. The study curriculum aims to impart the necessary knowledge to them in media science, media economy, and media law while also developing their creativity and entrepreneurial sense of initiative.
We combine this approach with a personal care concept that specifically addresses our students' strengths and needs. An inviting teaching and learning environment is one of the unique values of our university. Lectures take place in small study groups. Lecturers Allow enough time for questions from students and are also available out of class. This ensures intensive support and care from supervisors.
Maintaining multi-faceted communication geared towards an "us-feeling" is a core element of our university's quality development. Personal contact between students, lecturers, and staff of the university is significant in our campus life. A culture of open communication ensures relationships of trust and strengthens the sense of community among all associated with our university.
We see the encouragement of diversity and equal opportunities as an integral component of our educational mission. We would like to see all university members live out their potential, regardless of their gender, ethnic or religious affiliation, or family background. As part of our studies, we promote and require values such as commitment, motivation, team spirit, tolerance, critical ability, cosmopolitanism, curiosity, and the ability to cooperate and communicate.
Our university is firmly oriented toward the maintenance and further development of stable and productive networks with companies in the media industry and educational and cultural institutions. The timeliness, practical relevance, and teaching concepts of the different courses should benefit significantly from this cooperation.
