Characteristic of the Design Department is the close integration of the degree programs Interface, Communication and Product Design and European Media Studies, a cooperative project with the University Potsdam. This networking enables a unique, interdisciplinary educational profile with a strong research and practical orientation, which is reflected in numerous projects, exhibitions and cooperations each year. Close cooperation with business and cultural institutions as well as a lively exchange between teachers, students and international universities characterize the learning atmosphere.
