Excellent online and blended teaching and learning in Germany
The FIBAA Accreditation and Certification Commission awards the FIBAA Quality Seal "Excellence in Digital Education"® to Macromedia University of Applied Sciences, Germany. The University has campuses in Munich, Stuttgart, Freiburg, Frankfurt/Main, Cologne, Leipzig, Hamburg, and Berlin as well as study centres in Düsseldorf and Hanover.
The assessment of Macromedia University by an expert panel appointed by FIBAA began in summer 2023. The University was able to meet the requirements of all 23 FIBAA quality criteria in the areas of strategy, personnel, technology, didactic design and quality assurance. In addition, it particularly convinced the review panel in those criteria relating to strategic objectives, the further qualification and support of teaching staff with regard to digital teaching methods, a convincing technical infrastructure including technical and academic support for students and the continuous improvement of digital teaching.
The topics of digital teaching and transformation have become indispensable for universities and educational institutions. With its quality seal "Excellence in Digital Education"®, FIBAA promotes innovation in the education sector and supports higher education institutions and institutions of initial and continuing education in seeing digital challenges as an opportunity for future teaching and learning scenarios. The certification process alone enables education institutions to assess and further develop the quality of their study programmes and education courses with regard to digital teaching and the implementation of digital teaching. Accordingly, with the final report, the education institutions do not only receive a description of the status quo, but also suggestions and recommendations for further strategic, technical, didactic and personnel development. The certification with the FIBAA Quality Seal "Excellence in Digital Education"® is valid for five years.
Macromedia University of Applied Sciences currently has around 5,000 students from 80 nations. It offers 19 Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in German and English as well as in face-to-face and distance learning formats. The University's courses focus on media and journalism, management and communication, digital technologies and design, games, film, fashion, sport, psychology, music, and drama.
