Annotation

You are creative, have an eye for good design and are interested in different media? Then the degree programme with vocational and academic elements in Media Design is just right for you. In addition to analogue, digital creative processing and transmission of information are increasingly also part of the job profile. Therefore, in addition to topics such as the fundamentals of print and layout systems or print production, your curriculum also includes mobile media design and digital media formats. You will apply what you have learned directly at your practice partner. After your degree course, you can look forward to a career in agencies, at broadcasters, companies and publishers or as an independent designer.

In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements at the IU, you will study in one of the following two study models. In the degree programme with vocational and academic elements, lectures take place on two days per week on campus – occasionally also online via live video conference. Students then reinforce what they have learned using the learning materials. The "myStudium" degree programme with vocational and academic elements combines flexible self-study with digital learning formats. You will acquire the theory independently via myCampus – supported by innovative learning materials and Syntea, your personal AI learning assistant. Optionally, you can participate in weekly virtual accompanying courses as well as use other interactive live formats to deepen your knowledge.
