Why Study „Media Design“?
The power of images & the art of visualization
Media Design is a cross-media course of study in the area of tension between art, culture, science and business. Media designers create high-concept design solutions, trade fair displays, multimedia productions, user-friendly interfaces. Media designers develop visionary corporate and product brands, exhibition concepts, immersive media, multimedia scenography.
The Media Design degree program focuses on the development and realization of independent and applied projects in the individual modules. The Media Design program combines strategic creativity, mature design-artistic creativity and contemporary software-apparative creativity (including the latest technical developments such as AI) in a practical way. An important aspect is also the consideration of current and historical media developments as well as the training in future-oriented design methods.
Media Design is manifold and highly topical, on the cutting edge of our modern world. Become a part of it.
