Student services

The International Office at the Hochschule der Medien serves as a contact point for international visiting scholars and employees (Post Doc, professors) and their families. We advise in all non-academic matters and see ourselves as a central point of contact both before the entry, on arrival, during and at the end of the stay, as well as after the departure. In addition to its own services, the International Office can assist in connecting visiting scholars and employees within the university as well as all important institutions outside the university.

Housing services

Since finding accommodation in Stuttgart can prove quite difficult, we strongly advise you to apply for student housing. The Studierendenwerk Stuttgart owns and maintains several student dorms in Stuttgart, and most of our exchange students will usually be located at the Filderbahnplatz in Stuttgart-Möhringen or in Esslingen. Both student villages can be easily reached by public transport.

Library services

The HdM library is a specialized scientific library. It procures, archives, makes accessible and transmits specialized information in both printed and digital media. Its information portals and catalogs provide access to world-wide resources to both teachers and students, for research and teaching.

Campus life

High above the basin of Stuttgart, right on the campus of the district Stuttgart-Vaihingen. Here you find Hochschule der Medien (HdM). On the outskirts of the state capital of Baden-Wuerttemberg, students can enjoy the conveniences of the Swabian region. Resting areas are in short walking distances from the campus: „Rotwildpark“ with „Bärenseen“ and „Bärenschlössle“ ensure a vivid connection to nature.

HdM - The best year of my bachelor studies
Provided by ESN rated 5 out of 5 stars

It's a really good university and I'm so glad I had the opportunity to study here for my exchange year. What I experienced is that it is hands-on learning and very practical. I believe I learned a lot and I worked on different projects. Teachers were pushing our limits, especially in the Media Arts & Experimental Film classes, which brought the best out of us...
