You develop traditional graphic and typographic practice, a wide range of graphic and reproduction techniques, and judgement about when to use them. Precise craftsmanship is central, while semester projects also support individual artistic experimentation.

It also provides a more open speculative field for exploring relations and shifts between old and new media and emerging technological and media realities. At the same time, it prepares you to think about broader systems and services design. Animation and Film prepares you for independent or team work in audiovisual production, with emphasis on the visual and artistic aspects of the work and its temporal dimension. Photography prepares you for independent creative work and collaboration with graphic design studios. It explores image communication in design, fashion and art, with a main focus on applied photographic practice.
