Design-Oriented Know-How For Animation, Games and Audio-Visual Media

Animated films, digital effects and computer games are increasingly present in our lives. They accompany us not only in our leisure time, but also at school and at work. How this media will be shaped in the future in terms of design, narration and interaction is of crucial importance. In addition to career paths in the games and film industry, a wide range of other fields of activity are opening up, including the creation of educational games and virtual worlds. The Bachelor's degree course in Digital Arts offers specialised media training in design, conception and production with a focus on animation and games and their many facets (audio, video, mixed reality, etc.). In addition to teaching basic design and conceptual content, the focus is on practical implementation in an interdisciplinary and applied field of activity at a professional level.
