Course description

Nestled right next to the historic Bauhaus, the MID program offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation. This program covers the essentials of design, including communication design, product design, space, audiovisual, and digital media. These disciplines are interwoven through rigorous fundamental training and an interdisciplinary approach. The MID program is progressive and international, emphasizing the development of intercultural skills. It thrives on the synergetic power of a diverse working environment, bringing together students from various countries and cultural backgrounds. A high level of media competence is essential for this program, as projects are rooted in both practical and experimental research. Students are encouraged to devise systematic, creative, and individual solutions. They receive support from international designers, visiting artists, and other specialists, who contribute their expertise according to the project's topic and their professional area of specialization. This fosters an atmosphere of trust, understanding, and inclusivity, ensuring that each student can thrive and achieve their highest potential.
