Course General Description

We educate designers who are not only skilled craftspersons, but who can also actively help to shape the profession and leave their mark on the world. Students learn to create new approaches and expressions by communicating in visual and graphic terms, basing their work on an in-depth understanding of artistic and aesthetic techniques, and design methods and history. In the undergraduate Visual Design programme we apply basic, classic design skills and methods to create graphic, visual and interactive products and productions. Students work intensively on innovative design solutions in the fields of print, game, digital, interaction and experience design. The programme offers two fields of study: Visual Communication; and Game and Interaction Design.
