​​Profile

The Communication Design study programme covers the bro ad panorama of design with subject-specific expertise and design quality: The initial part of the study programme teaches essential fundamentals in graphic design, illustration, photography, exhibition design, text and conceptual design as well as digital media, audiovisual design and virtual reality. During the advanced study period, students can choose individual specialisations or become ‘general specialists’. Intensive student mentoring by our professors promotes education quality and students’ personal development. The Bachelor of Arts degree is internationally recognised. It allows students to progress to the Master of Arts qualification in Germany or abroad. Design is attitude.



Career Options

Communication designers do not just work in design offices and advertising agencies. Career prospects are increasingly varied and as broad as our curriculum. Design is also a discipline in demand in the fields of economics, politics, culture and the social sector. Master’s graduates can find work in management positions in these fields or in teaching roles.
