State recognized and accredited design university

The Mediadesign Hochschule has been state-recognized since 2004 and has also been institutionally accredited by the German Council of Science and Humanities since 2010. The reaccreditation by the German Council of Science and Humanities took place in 2018. In order to enable the international comparability of the degrees, the regular reaccreditation of the study programs is carried out by the Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency (ZEvA). All mdh study programs have been successfully accredited. We have many people working behind the scenes to continue to provide a smooth experience for all our students and staff.
