The Executive Master’s Program “International Media Innovation Management” (IMIM)
IMIM is a post-graduate part-time programme for working professionals. Following the concept of blended learning, it contains six one-week modules in various cities, complemented by e-learning. The curriculum will take the students to at least five different countries. IMIM’s students come from various fields and backgrounds: telecommunication, IT, media & entertainment, often referred to as international T.I.M.E. industries. During the course, the candidates are trained to solve real-life problems interdisciplinarily. That earmarks them for jobs that don‘t yet exist – although the need for them does. In English.
