The Stuttgart Media University or Media University (German: Hochschule der Medien) is a state university of media studies in Stuttgart, Germany, offering nearly 30 accredited bachelor's and master's degree programs within three faculties.

History

[edit]

The Stuttgart Media University was formed in 2001 by the union of the two former schools, the Hochschule für Druck und Medien (University for Print and Media) and the Hochschule für Bibliotheks-und Informationswesen (University for Library and Information System).[2] One of the former schools, Hochschule für Druck und Medien founded in 1903, was based on an earlier technical school for printing founded in 1853 as the Fachschule für Buchdruckgewerbe Stuttgart. The other university, Hochschule für Bibliotheks-und Informationswesen, was founded in 1942 as Büchereifachschule Stuttgart.[2] Both schools are now defunct after their union to Stuttgart Media University in 2001.
