You will be taught and inspired by experienced media and design professionals who feel passionate about their areas of expertise. In addition, we frequently invite international guest lecturers on the latest topics.
Experience new teaching methods
Not only is the technology innovative, but also the way of teaching. We immediately translate theory into practice via a skills lab, where you can work on projects. If you need extra help, you'll quickly get it. The teacher provides the necessary knowledge but also coaches and facilitates.
You will get to work on real-life challenges in international and interdisciplinary teams. Every year companies submit cases for students to work on. Provided with the proper guidance by expert teachers, the group of students will autonomously research, brainstorm and pitch to the client their innovative products. Using a design thinking approach, we ensure you will get in touch with students of different disciplines when developing creative ideas during design and prototyping sprints.
Next to activities on campus, we offer online learning experiences allowing virtual exchange between people of different nationalities and cultures. Thanks to our partner, the Sharing Perspectives Foundation, you will be able to develop 21st Century skills needed to thrive in today's diverse, connected and online world. During the Innovation Management course, you will conduct field research and attractively present your findings during an international study trip.
We play by the rules of the COIL methodology, Collaborative Online International Learning. With this new teaching and learning technique, we stimulate the development of intercultural competence. Educators from different countries develop a shared syllabus emphasising experiential and collaborative student-centred learning. This way, you will experience the challenges of global cooperation and communication first-hand.
As a member of Euprera (European Public Relations Education and Research Association) we can enlarge our network at yearly international conferences. One of the results is an international cooperation with Seneca College in Toronto (Canada), which nowadays is integrated into the COIL methodology.

Understanding these technologies will pioneer new communication methods in your future workplace.
Your programme provides a solid theoretical basis, yet it is also infused with plenty of practice: challenging (design) cases, exciting company visits, a full-blown internship and project-based team learning courses. So expect lots of opportunities to create fantastic end products! Moreover, your expert lecturers come well-equipped: they have tons of practical experience, and some still work in the field.
