Contemporary. Interdisciplinary. Free.

Communication Design at the Folkwang University of the Arts: This is contemporary, interdisciplinary design with image, text and code. The Master's program is open in both form and content. You have a great deal of freedom to pursue your aesthetic, artistic and scientific questions. You can devote yourself to the three areas of image/text/code across the board, you can concentrate entirely on one area or combine the areas. Interdisciplinary research clusters on fields such as "Digital Narration", "Forms of Knowledge" or "Generative Writing" offer the opportunity to engage intensively with central current design topics and bring together different perspectives in joint projects. The interdisciplinary cooperation projects are based on the creative interests and special issues of the students and teaching staff. Those who wish can also take courses in photography and industrial design.

As a person. As a personality. As an author.

Communication design at the Folkwang University of the Arts: That is also personality development. Our present is characterized by rapid change. We can only guess which specific job profiles will be in demand in the future. For us, the aim of a contemporary Master's degree course in Communication Design is therefore to train alert and versatile creative personalities. In open, experimental work processes: By researching and working on your projects, you will penetrate design processes and design theories. In doing so, you will deal with the personal, cultural and socio-political context and at the same time with the content, functions, media and disciplines of design. You will reflect on technological and social transformations and your own responsibility as a designer in this change. In this way, you will develop your personal attitude as a designer and your self-image as an author of design. Critical. Independent. Contemporary.
