From 2002 to 2006 I studied digital media at the university of applied sciences Kaiserslautern (location Zweibrücken).

Digital media is a interdisciplinary course of studies which means it is a combination of computer science and designing media. The diploma holder of this course of studies are computer scientists with creative skills. Digital media (standard period of study 8 semester including a practical semester at a company) is very practice-oriented which was very important for my desicion in choosing this study. The university in Zweibrücken is rather small with its 2000 students but nevertheless it is a well equipped one.
