Program overview

What the University of Europe for Applied Sciences says about their program:

With us you can develop your potential and personality. As a communication designer you’ll communicate complex issues visually which will influence thoughts and actions. The work you create will not only be aesthetic, but will also convey multifacetted messages and emotions. To achieve this, content must always be understood in its cultural, social, ecological and economic context. Designers are the driving force here.

Whilst studying the Bachelor's degree in Communication Design, you will learn from experienced professors and lecturers from the creative industries, using our extensive infrastructure of workshops, libraries, studios and laboratories. You’ll also have access to an analogue letterpress/lead typesetting, screen-printing, risograph, b/w darkroom, photo studio, print and scan lab, MacPools and a game lab.
