Multimedia Design
Would you like to work professionally with the development and implementation of digital user experiences, digital design and programming? Then become a multimedia designer.
Get the necessary digital competencies
The Multimedia Design and Communication programme is a 2-year higher education for people who would like to get knowledge and skills within user interface design (UI), user experience design (UX), digital content, programming and business understanding. You will work professionally with the design and development of web solutions and mobile services - and learn about digital media, innovation and idea development.
The programme is project-orientated with a strong focus on group work. The first three semesters contain a mix of exciting subjects, where you’ll work project-orientated with international companies. This is followed by an internship during which you get to test your digital skills in practice. We collaborate with lots of international and internationally focused companies for internships. There are no elective subjects on this programme.
During the programme, you will build a portfolio that showcases not only your creative work within the field of multimedia design, but at the same time will document your global skills, intercultural competencies, knowledge and experience.
Teaching Methods and Study Enviroment
In the degree programme, you will work with planning, management and implementation of multimedia projects. You will learn to apply communication theories, narrative techniques and means of communication and you will acquire practical experience with UX/UI design and programming.
You’ll work with the subjects through dialogue-based teaching, project-orientated group work and individual assignments. We attach great importance to having continuous collaboration with relevant internationally focused companies and organisations who contribute with concrete cases, experience and knowledge.
As a student on the Multimedia Design programme, you are expected to bring your own laptop which is suitable for multimedia production.
