Profile
Information Design
Do you enjoy an interdisciplinary mix of design, programming and language, and are curious about the creative experimental field of analog and digital media? Are you interested in current topics from politics, business and science - and do you see the need to communicate these topics simply and clearly for a large group of users? If so, we'd love to get you excited about a course of study in which you'll conceptualize and design multimedia user experiences in the jungle of information.
Critical reflection and vivid presentation
In the Information Design degree program, you will learn to research and reflect on a wide variety of socially relevant topics. You will organize, systematize, clarify and reduce complex content into comprehensible information units and illustrate connections in the form of texts, graphics, animations, films or interactive applications. You will discuss relevant questions of our time and explore the exciting field of linguistic and visual communication. You work in teams or individually. Professors, staff and lecturers support you in discovering and individually developing your own talents.
