Contents and Results Gained

4.1. Mode of Study Part-time 4.2. Program Requirements The aim of the program is a degree as a Media Designer, who is qualified to responsibly and independently analyze and manage design tasks in the field of media. In response to the traditional media, students acquire a basic under-standing of multimedia networked media and communica-tion structures. The study is based on a sound knowledge of design and subsequent promotion of strategic and conceptual and software-technical competencies, which centers on the development and implementation of pro-jects in art, culture, science and the economy. The project activities include both experiment and research, the pur-chase of a personal language and style determination, as well as the development of an application-oriented per-spective, through to the finished prototype.

Diploma Supplement

The Media Designer is an expert in cross-media imple-mentation of visual communication messages. He is a mediator and coordinator at the interface of different media and visual requirements. The Media Designer is able to analyze, plan and realize problems from the different media areas independently and responsibly. The classes of the 1st and second Semester cover the basics of visual communication. Based on methodolog-ical studies, the students develop in the areas of presentation, semiotics and design, type and typogra-phy and photography and electronic imaging a basic understanding of the representation of characters, character classes and sign systems, according to syntactic, semantic and sigmatic considerations. The courses of the 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th semester, focus the media areas Communication Design, Motion Design, Interface Design and Media Concept. Students deepen their competencies for creative and strategic conceptual solution-finding processes. They are able, according to the guidelines of a project-oriented focus in the main study, to plan and realize research and industrial projects as low-and middle-fidelity prototypes. In the semester (5th semester), students extend their studies under the previous skills learned through an internship.

4.3. Program Details See Transcript for list of courses and grades; and “Bachelorzeugnis" (Final Examination Certificate) for subjects offered in final examinations (written and oral), and topic of thesis, including evaluations.

4.4. Grading Scheme General grading scheme cf.

Diploma Supplement The information on the national higher education system on the follow-ing pages provides a context for the qualification and the type of higher education that awarded it.

8. Information on the german higher edu-cation systemi

8.1 Types of Institutions and Institutional Sta-tus

Higher education (HE) studies in Germany are offered at three types of Higher Education Institutions (HEI).ii

- Universitäten (Universities) including various specialized institutions, offer the whole range of academic disciplines. In the German tradition, universities focus in particular on basic research so that advanced stages of study have mainly theoretical orientation and research-oriented components.

- Fachhochschulen (Universities of Applied Sciences) concentrate their study programmes in engineering and other technical disciplines, business-related studies, social work, and design areas. The common mission of applied research and development implies a distinct appli-cation-oriented focus and professional character of studies, which include integrated and supervised work assignments in industry, enterprises or other relevant institutions.

- Kunst- und Musikhochschulen (Universities of Art/Music) offer studies for artistic careers in fine arts, performing arts and music; in such fields as directing, production, writing in theatre, film, and other media; and in a variety of design areas, architecture, media and communica-tion.

Higher Education Institutions are either state or state-recognized institutions. In their operations, including the organization of studies and the designation and award of degrees, they are both subject to higher education legislation.

8.2 Types of Programmes and Degrees Awarded

Studies in all three types of institutions have traditionally been offered in integrated "long" (one-tier) programmes leading to Diplom- or Magis-

ter Artium degrees or completed by a Staatsprüfung (State Examination).

Within the framework of the Bologna-Process one-tier study programmes are successively being replaced by a two-tier study system. Since 1998, a scheme of first- and second-level degree programmes (Bachelor and Master) was introduced to be offered parallel to or instead of integrated "long" programmes. These programmes are designed to provide enlarged variety and flexibility to students in planning and pursuing educational objectives, they also enhance international compatibility of studies.

For details cf. Sec. 8.4.1, 8.4.2, and 8.4.3 respectively. Table 1 provides a synoptic summary.

8.3 Approval/Accreditation of Programmes and Degrees

To ensure quality and comparability of qualifications, the organization of studies and general degree requirements have to conform to principles and regulations established by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (KMK).iii In 1999, a system of accreditation for programmes of study has become operational under the control of an Accreditation Council at national level. All new programmes have to be accredited under this scheme; after a successful accreditation they receive the quality-label of the Accreditation Council.iv

8.4 Organization and Structure of Studies The following programmes apply to all three types of institutions. Bachelor’s and Master’s study courses may be studied consecutively, at various higher education institutions, at different types of higher education institutions and with phases of professional work between the first and the second qualifica-tion. The organization of the study programmes makes use of modular components and of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) with 30 credits corresponding to one semester.

8.4.1 Bachelor Bachelor degree study programmes lay the academic foundations, provide methodological skills and lead to qualifications related to the professional field. The Bachelor degree is awarded after 3 to 4 years.

Table 1: Institutions, Programmes and Degrees in German Higher Education

The Bachelor degree programme includes a thesis requirement. Study courses leading to the Bachelor degree must be accredited according to the Law establishing a Foundation for the Accreditation of Study Pro-grammes in Germany.v

First degree programmes (Bachelor) lead to Bachelor of Arts (B.A.), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.), Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) or Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.).

Diploma Supplement

8.4.2 Master Master is the second degree after another 1 to 2 years. Master study programmes must be differentiated by the profile types “more practice-oriented” and “more research-oriented”. Higher Education Institutions define the profile of each Master study programme.

The Master degree study programme includes a thesis requirement. Study programmes leading to the Master degree must be accredited according to the Law establishing a Foundation for the Accreditation of Study Pro-grammes in Germany.vi

Second degree programmes (Master) lead to Master of Arts (M.A.), Master of Science (M.Sc.), Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), Master of Laws (L.L.M), Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) or Master of Music (M.Mus.). Master study programmes, which are designed for continuing education or which do not build on the preceding Bachelor study programmes in terms of their content, may carry other designations (e.g. MBA).

8.4.3 Integrated "Long" Programmes (One-Tier): Diplom degrees,Magister Artium, Staatsprüfung

An integrated study programme is either mono-disciplinary (Diplom de-grees, most programmes completed by a Staatsprüfung) or comprises a combination of either two major or one major and two minor fields (Magis-ter Artium). The first stage (1.5 to 2 years) focuses on broad orientations and foundations of the field(s) of study. An Intermediate Examination (Diplom-Vorprüfung for Diplom degrees; Zwischenprüfung or credit re-quirements for the Magister Artium) is prerequisite to enter the second stage of advanced studies and specializations. Degree requirements include submission of a thesis (up to 6 months duration) and comprehen-sive final written and oral examinations. Similar regulations apply to studies leading to a Staatsprüfung. The level of qualification is equivalent to the Master level.

- Integrated studies at Universitäten (U) last 4 to 5 years (Diplom degree, Magister Artium) or 3 to 6.5 years (Staatsprüfung). The Diplom degree is awarded in engineering disciplines, the natural sciences as well as eco-nomics and business. In the humanities, the corresponding degree is usually the Magister Artium (M.A.). In the social sciences, the practice varies as a matter of institutional traditions. Studies preparing for the legal, medical, pharmaceutical and teaching professions are completed by a Staatsprüfung.

The three qualifications (Diplom, Magister Artium and Staatsprüfung) are academically equivalent. They qualify to apply for admission to doctoral studies. Further prerequisites for admission may be defined by the Higher Education Institution, cf. Sec. 8.5.

- Integrated studies at Fachhochschulen (FH)/Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) last 4 years and lead to a Diplom (FH) degree. While the FH/UAS are non-doctorate granting institutions, qualified graduates may apply for admission to doctoral studies at doctorate-granting institutions, cf. Sec. 8.5.

- Studies at Kunst- and Musikhochschulen (Universities of Art/Music etc.) are more diverse in their organization, depending on the field and individu-al objectives. In addition to Diplom/Magister degrees, the integrated study programme awards include Certificates and certified examinations for specialized areas and professional purposes.

8.5 Doctorate Universities as well as specialized institutions of university standing and some Universities of Art/Music are doctorate-granting institutions. Formal prerequisite for admission to doctoral work is a qualified Master (UAS and U), a Magister degree, a Diplom, a Staatsprüfung, or a foreign equivalent. Particularly qualified holders of a Bachelor or a Diplom (FH) degree may also be admitted to doctoral studies without acquisition of a further degree by means of a procedure to determine their aptitude. The universi-ties respectively the doctorate-granting institutions regulate entry to a doctorate as well as the structure of the procedure to determine aptitude. Admission further requires the acceptance of the Dissertation research project by a professor as a supervisor.

8.6 Grading Scheme The grading scheme in Germany usually comprises five levels (with numer-ical equivalents; intermediate grades may be given): "Sehr Gut" (1) = Very Good; "Gut" (2) = Good; "Befriedigend" (3) = Satisfactory; "Ausreichend" (4) = Sufficient; "Nicht ausreichend" (5) = Non-Sufficient/Fail. The minimum passing grade is "Ausreichend" (4). Verbal designations of grades may vary in some cases and for doctoral degrees.

In addition institutions may already use the ECTS grading scheme, which operates with the levels A (best 10 %), B (next 25 %), C (next 30 %), D (next 25 %), and E (next 10 %).

8.7 Access to Higher Education The General Higher Education Entrance Qualification (Allgemeine Hochschulreife, Abitur) after 12 to 13 years of schooling allows for admis-sion to all higher educational studies. Specialized variants (Fachge-bundende Hochschulreife) allow for admission to particular disciplines. Access to Fachhochschulen (UAS) is also possible with a Fachhochschul-reife, which can usually be acquired after 12 years of schooling. Admis-sion to Universities of Art/Music may be based on other or require addi-tional evidence demonstrating individual aptitude.

Higher Education Institutions may in certain cases apply additional admis-sion procedures.
