Stuff that may be relevant for the Digital Media programme in Bremen.
I just read that the Breakpoint festival, the largest demoscene festival in the world, will be hosted for the last time this year – at least by the old orga team. The organizers would love to be a visitor of such a festival again. And their growing old – no new blood in sight.
The last Breakpoint will happen from April 2nd to 5th in Bingen, Germany.
Kristian Gohlke and Michael Haltky from the University of Applied

Dear fellow students,
currently the future of the joint study programme in digital media is discussed on the administrations side. Currently the degree course is certified and we don´t really need to care about, but this certificate thats proves the quality of the degree course needs to be refreshed. As we all are more or less aware of specific problems within our international, inter-university degree course, these lacks are not unheard and the administration really tries to improve the quality of our studies, the organisation and further aspects which will be taken into account during the process of certification, the so-called “Reakkreditierung”.
