Intermedia Design

New Degree Programme starting in the Winter Semester 2026
Communication Design becomes Intermedia Design! With the upcoming winter semester, our B.A. and M.A. degree programmes in Communication Design will be transitioned to the new programme Intermedia Design. Intermedia Design is the practice of letting different media speak to one another. Images, data, words, spaces and interfaces become an experimental field in which new forms of perception and knowledge emerge.

The degree programme encourages open, artistic and research-based work that develops new forms of knowledge, experience and communication with and through media. Graduates work in culture, media, research and creative industries – wherever the future is negotiated visually and conceptually. The programme understands design as a speculative, investigative and socially relevant practice.

B.A. Intermedia Design

The eight-semester bachelor’s programme provides a broad, artistic and experimental design practice. Students work intermedially with image, text and code, developing their own design and research approaches. The programme fosters conceptual strength, critical thinking and technical versatility. Graduates can work in a wide range of fields within media, culture and design practice.

M.A. Intermedia Design

The master’s programme deepens intermedial, conceptual and research-oriented design. Students develop their own research questions and projects at the intersection of art, design, media, technology and society. The programme offers space for individual artistic practice, theoretical reflection and project-based research. The degree qualifies graduates for an independent artistic career in design, media, culture and research.
