What do you learn in a studies called »Digital Media«?
At the University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern I completed the studies »Digital Media« and so I got a diploma in computer science. Because I don't want to bore my visitors with theoretical stuff about each field of study, I introduce here some of the projects we realised during that studies.
