Our values

Excellence and high standards of education

Our teachers and lecturers will actively support you throughout your studies and help you embark on a successful career. We are committed to ensuring your success. Our training programmes are demanding, but always rewarding

Network and partnerships

The biggest challenge when leaving university and entering the job market is a lack of practical experience. At HMKW, we ensure a strong focus on work experience and practical experience to prepare our graduates for successful careers. Our learning experience combines solid academic training with various real-life projects. We work closely with various commercial partners and institutions from the industry to further strengthen our academic programme with real-life projects and tasks. We organise regular project weeks with major partners such as Sony. Deutsche Welle and ZDF are part of this strategy. Our students’ work can also be found online, on television and on the radio. 

Our accreditations

All of our programmes are also accredited by FIBA, an international agency for quality assurance in higher education. HMKW operates across three sites in Germany: in Berlin, Cologne and Frankfurt (Main). 

Daring and creative

Bringing together different areas of know-how and cultures, knowing how to take risks and experimenting to help new creations and ideas to emerge: these are values that guide us and that we share with our students in order to enable them to become excellent.
