Our modern information society needs creative minds who can bridge the gap between design and computer science in the development of innovative media applications. Digitisation has now permeated all areas of media production. Regardless of whether we consume media on the Internet, on data carriers such as DVD or Blu-ray, in the cinema, TV or radio, at info terminals or with apps on mobile devices, as an OnDemand service or even as a classic print product, these services are always based on the complex processes of digital production, distribution and archiving. A targeted design, intuitive interfaces that are dynamically generated by content management systems, or computer games with responsive level and character design as well as complex game logic programming are just a few examples of the close links between design and information technology which professional multimedia productions are known for today. Creativity and aesthetic judgement are required alongside the ability to technically realise and reflect the social impact of new media technologies.

Numerous companies are concerned with how computers handle the exponential growth of data volumes and how machines can make human-like decisions and recognise relationships between data. Online retailers, for example, are trying to predict future buyer behaviour based on past purchases. Data mining is concerned with discovering unknown patterns in huge amounts of data. Specifically, this can be about very different things such as credit card misuse, medical diagnoses or the recognition of opinions and trends in web forums. In the field of decision-making support, medical systems mimic the decision-making of human experts and their use as an aid in clinics and practices can mostly go unnoticed.
A large number of the intelligent system algorithms come from natural models in nature: These include optimisation methods analogous to nature, artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms.

Project-oriented learning refers to directly linking theory and practical application to real problems. For THB computer science students, project work already starts in the first study days with the project-oriented study (PST). Project-oriented learning is also an integral part of further studies, starting with strengthening, practice-accompanying projects in the complex internship during the 4th semester, the large project in the 5th semester, and the practical project in the 6th semester. Example topics can include:
15 special laboratories with modern technology are for instance available for practical work. Examples include the humanoid robots "David" and "Eve" as well as other robots, an in-house recording studio, the latest camera technology (S3D stereo rig with Red cameras, DSLR cameras), app programming smartphones
and many PCs/MACs as well as hard and software, where learning can become practice.
We are distinguished by our practical orientation. We work closely with companies in the region and other universities.
There are professional prospects in all areas where IT is used, for example in the development and adaptation of hardware and software systems, in audio/video design, the creation of computer animations, Internet service providers, in the development of mobile and distributed applications, in the field of artificial intelligence and autonomous mobile systems.
In 25 years, the Department of Engineering has built up competencies in the field of electrical and mechanical drive technology, which come together in the new E-mobility degree program. With this study program, we are meeting the modern challenges future engineers will face who must master the integration of systems from different fields for new products and technologies - in this case mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and control engineering.
The E-mobility degree course is characterized in particular by the teaching of knowledge, methodological skills and working techniques in a professionally balanced representation of the technical systems required for this.
E-mobility includes all technical devices or processes that set people or goods in motion or support muscle-driven movements by means of electric motor drives. The "mobile" energy storage systems will (have to) adapt to the level of technical development.
The term electromobility is intended to cover a wide range of applications:
One of the possible "technical" answers to counteract the critical climate changes lies in the technology change of vehicle drives. This means that electromechanical drive technology and energy storage systems will play a key role in all transport sectors. Mobility change will then not mean substituting the internal combustion engine with an e-motor in the car, but offering diverse, flexible and efficient forms of mobility.

The language of instruction in all the THB degree courses is GERMAN. Individual modules are taught in English. A prerequisite for studying here is knowledge of German at C1 level, which must be proven with a certificate before enrolment, e.g. DSH, TestDaF. THB offers a German course at C1 level for applicants (15 weeks).
In addition to compulsory courses on the foundations of computer science and medicine, the degree stands out due to its large number of elective courses. The following modules are specially designed for the needs of Medical Informatics:
This makes it possible for students to study versatile subjects, tailored to their individual interests.
The degree is characterised by a variety of teaching methods: The classic format of studies such as lectures and exercises are supported by seminars, excursions and practical training in small groups in the THB laboratories as well as in various departments in the surrounding clinics. Modules on medical topics are predominantly represented by chief physicians from the clinics.
Two special laboratories (Biosignal processing lab I and Biosignal processing lab II) with modern equipment are available for practical work in the field of medical informatics. In addition to ECG, EEG, EMG and ultrasound measuring installations, there are also other mobile sensors for motion detection as well as various hardware and software which can be used to put what you have learned into practice.
For THB students studying medical informatics, project work already starts in the first few days of the course with the project-oriented study (PST). A topic from the field of medical informatics is handled independently by small groups of 3 to a maximum of 9 students. In addition to various project work in the individual modules, the basic knowledge learned is applied to one research question and practically examined during the medical informatics project (5th semester) individually or in a project group.
The aim of the project work is to deepen the direct practical relevance of the course as well as to improve the team skills of the students. Examples of projects carried out:
The activities of the college in the field of medical informatics are combined in the Medical Informatics Competence Centre - ProMedius. Its key topics include clinical-scientific data management, biomedical applications in signal and image processing, and telemedicine. Project partners and clinics (e.g. Städtisches Klinikum Brandenburg GmbH), other colleges and technical colleges (e.g. the Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane, the Medical School at the Städtisches Klinikum Brandenburg GmbH or the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg) as well as enterprises from the region (e.g. Roland Consult GmbH, Weist GmbH, vireq software solutions GmbH & Co. KG, ORTEC medical GmbH and the German network for evidence-based medicine) are involved.
Information technology is now an integral part of all healthcare activities. Career opportunities are therefore becoming available in the IT departments of hospitals, in various software and system providers, and companies in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. In addition, the use of telemedical procedures in aftercare and the monitoring of patients with chronic illnesses, as well as the innovative use of data from wearables for health maintenance purposes, opens up a broad field.
The degree is designed in cooperation with the opticians' and optometrists' guild of the state of Brandenburg in Rathenow. It combines medically influenced optics with engineering knowledge about the workings, design, construction and operation of modern medical devices. The focus is on medical/optical measuring and diagnostic systems.
The research equipment used in optometry today has evolved into highly complex "intelligent" systems. For its successful use with patients, one requires good knowledge of the diagnostic equipment, sound knowledge of the various diseases and refractive errors of the human eye as well as their optimal correction. Special emphasis is placed on a practical and interdisciplinary teaching of the material in this degree. Since teaching takes place in two locations and it is also possible to graduate as an optician in addition to the Bachelor of Engineering degree, the Optics/Optical Device Technology degree is one of the dual study programmes. The degree can address individual learning needs through teaching in small groups. In addition, it is possible to get very personal and individual support.
The degree is divided into the specialisations optometry and optical engineering, which can be selected from the 5th semester onward. In addition to the Bachelor degree, you can also qualify as an optician.

Media and communication are among the growth markets of today and tomorrow. Completely new job profiles have already been created by "multimedia", and others are currently trying to become established in the market. The career area for computer scientists with a focus on media informatics is very diverse. Since almost all areas of computer science are now intertwined with digital media, media computer scientists are now urgently needed in almost every subfield. The spectrum ranges from traditional media sectors, such as press, film and television, to the design and implementation of web systems, the development of teaching-learning systems, games and particularly apps for smartphones and tablets. You can acquire a wide range of knowledge and practical skills in computer science, media, design and psychology in all these areas. This is a competence profile which media informatics in Brandenburg is known for.
The degree course contains a project track with different numbers of projects, some of which also take place within the modules. Example topics can include:
In order to prepare the graduates for a possible doctorate, a scientific project and a scientific seminar are integrated into the degree course.
We develop and operate these online degree courses together with ONCAMPUS, the University Association of Virtual Universities of Applied Sciences (currently 10 universities).
The Master of Energy Efficiency of Technical Systems is unique in Germany and provides graduates of all technical and scientific disciplines with further education in the field of energy efficiency.
