Studying in the M.A. Intermedia Design strengthens the development of independent artistic and design positions. Design is understood as a research-driven, authorial practice. The programme combines aesthetic, theoretical and technological competencies, opening up new fields of practice between art, design and research. Through interdisciplinary work, critical reflection on technologies and the encouragement of experimental methods, future-oriented approaches to design emerge.
The degree qualifies graduates for an independent artistic career in design, media, culture and research.
Study structure
The study structure in Intermedial Design is divided into three phases: A, B and C. In the first two semesters of the B.A. Intermediale Gestaltung, students acquire fundamental skills in image, text and code (Artistic Core Subjects A). From the third semester onwards, students work on Artistic Studio Projects B, completing two project-based works per semester.
In the M.A. Intermedia Design, Artistic Development Projects C form the core of the programme. These projects allow for in-depth, long-term work on one project per semester and support individual specialisations and research-based approaches.
The study structure is intentionally designed to be flexible: in each phase, courses from previous stages may also be taken. This flexibility enables different pathways, ranging from focused artistic profiles to broadly conceived intermedial practices. At the centre of the programme is the free development of each student’s individual design position.
