You are looking for a graphic design study programme with high technical standards? You have come to the right place! This master class is a combination of design, technology and science. We are convinced that graphic designers should not only be scientists and engineers but also equal partners in a production team.
Contrary to “traditional” graphic design training programmes, we teach our students the technical implementation of projects in addition to design competence. For this reason, many of our courses are project-oriented. This master class covers various subareas of media technology from analogue (print) to digital (web, app).
