Together. Interdisciplinary. Diverse.
Drawing and shaping, pixels and polygons, games and experiments: this is how practically and concretely our Bachelor's programme begins for all students in the studios and workshops on the new campus. The basic subjects provide a solid basic design training that teaches students the traditional arts-and-crafts skills as well as giving them initial experience in the areas of design and conception, project work and brainstorming. The primary aim is to gain as much experience as possible with the various materials, processes and techniques.
A good basic education gives you self-confidence
The basic subjects are of particular importance on your way to earning a “Bachelor of Arts”. In practical and concrete terms, it forms the basis for the further course of studies. Thoroughly learned artistic skills and understanding do not only give students self-confidence. They also facilitate the decision-making process for later specialisations in the chosen fields of competence.
Criticism and Self-criticism
One of the important goals of the basic subjects is to develop the students’ language competence with regard to creative content, criteria and processes. In communicative exercises, they provide stimulation and guidance for critical and controversial debates and a constructive discourse on creative, strategic, conceptual and aesthetic issues.
Games and Experiments
During the basic study phase, it is already important for students to recognise the nature of creative processes, in each individual as well as in a team: games and experiments, association and intuition, desire and mood – all of these are essential factors in finding and shaping ideas. By working on smaller, practical projects, the path is experienced as a method - and each result as a station.
