The Media Campus connects students with professionals, helps with career planning and offers start-up founders new opportunities.
Well-trained in their field, internationally minded, socially competent, creative and with an eye for the media of tomorrow: the demands placed on graduates of media degree programmes are varied.

YUBIZZ – h_da’s start-up initiative
Advice on starting a business and self-employment for students and staff
The ‘YUBIZZ’ brand represents h_da’s start-up support programme. The YUBIZZ team advises and supports those interested in starting a business and entrepreneurs from all academic faculties – including students and staff at the Media Campus.
If you’re wondering whether an idea or project has what it takes to become a business, the YUBIZZ team can help. The start-up advisers have founded businesses themselves, so they’re familiar with the typical hurdles and pitfalls, as well as the right tools and approaches.
Furthermore, YUBIZZ is closely integrated into the regional start-up ecosystem.
This community, characterised by inspiring people, a great atmosphere and a strong sense of camaraderie, represents the ultimate collective wisdom when it comes to start-ups. This is one reason why Darmstadt ranks among Germany’s top start-up locations.
