Bauhaus University Weimar

Program Overview

Creativity, design and experimentation -- open to current trends, but also with a view to the future: that is the philosophy of the Bauhaus-Universit t Weimar's Master's degree course in Medienkunst/Mediengestaltung. The tuition covers organisation and technology, as well as developing creative, analytical and critical skills. The combination of these disparate elements forms the main focus of the course, as it is the basic prerequisite for creative professional work in the media -- either freelance or for a company. The primary goal of the course is to develop designers of strong character who will be able to enrich, and indeed determine the everyday media environment of the future with their practical knowledge and artistic creativity.
