It is a public higher education institution specializing in media subjects. Established on September 1, 2001, it combines the expertise of the former University for Printing and Media (HDM) – a traditional hub for printing and media technology education – and the University for Library and Information Science (HBI). The university covers all facets of media. In addition to focusing on book and press publishers, the Crossmedia Publishing & Management program, with a specialization in sports communication, also addresses the perspective of sports.

Launched in the spring of 2018 under the auspices of AWO-Passgenau e.V., its department for audio-description commentary titled T-OHR builds upon the experiences of the ZSBR (Center for Blind and Visually Impaired Reporting 2014-2017). While the predecessor project focused primarily on blind reporting in football, AWO Südwest gGmbH aims to reach and enrich broader segments of society and a variety of sports through audio-descriptive reporting. This initiative identifies and creates spaces for interaction, enabling more individuals to have barrier-free access to participation in sports and cultural activities. To achieve these goals, representatives from sports, culture, and interest groups are interconnected and supported by AWO Südwest gGmbH. By engaging in an Erasmus+ Programme-supported project, the organization will facilitate small entities' entry into the sports sector.
