Annotation

Visual Communication is used to design information. From the app to the poster, from the advertising campaign to the trade fair stand, from illustration to writing – it uses a variety of media. As a communication designer, you are competently and responsibly designed to solve the communicative concerns of business, science, culture and civil society. Prof. Sebastian Hackelsperger: "What will stand the test of time in the future is creativity and social competence. That is why we attach particular importance to comprehensive training in the Visual Communication degree course, which ultimately leaves the students free as designers – who are not only technically competent and realise unseen visualisations, but above all take on social responsibility."
