About the course

A six-semester, 180 ECTS degree taught in English at the Berlin and Munich campuses, covering strategic corporate communication, cross-media campaigning and current topics such as digitalisation in media management, with practical project work.

Entry requirements for Irish students

  • The university asks for a recognised secondary school-leaving certificate. Under German rules (KMK/anabin) the Leaving Certificate gives direct entry only with six subjects: at least two at Higher Level at H5 or better, the other four at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. For business, economics and social sciences German rules also require Higher Level Maths at H5; confirm with Macromedia admissions whether this applies to this course.
  • No numerus clausus, entrance test or interview is listed; the application includes a CV and motivation letter.
  • English: the programme lists an English proficiency certificate as a requirement (TOEFL iBT 72 or IELTS 6.0, or the Burlington VTest). Ask admissions whether Leaving Cert English or Irish native speakers are exempt before booking a test.
