SHAPE THE DIGITAL FUTURE

Do you want to critically investigate our day-to-day interactions with digital artefacts? Then Leuphana University Lüneburg's undergraduate programme in Digital Media (in cooperation the Hamburg Media School) just might be the right choice for you. During your studies, you will familiarise yourself with both the cornerstones of media theory and the practical production side of digital media. You will develop your own projects, e.g. a short documentary, a podcast, or a small game.

One of the great opportunities that comes with studying Digital Media is the option of pursuing a double degree, one degree from Leuphana University Lüneburg and one degree from the City University of Hong Kong.
