Campus Specialists in the Design Department

Rebekka and Toni talk about the design degree programmes in the Campus Specialists podcast. How does the aptitude test work and what do you actually learn in the interface design programme?

The podcast is about the European Media Studies programme, which is a cooperation between the University of Potsdam and the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. Jana and Nicola talk about their experiences as students.

Hanne tells us how she became aware of the interface design degree programme.

Rebekka Eversmann from the Communication Design degree programme reports on how she found her way to her degree programme, what makes it and studying at the FHP in general so special and what she envisages for her own future.

Toni Flügel from the Product Design degree programme reports on how he found his way to his degree programme, what makes it and studying at the FHP in general so special and what he envisages for his own future.

Anna Dotzek from the European Media Studies programme reports on how she found her way to her degree programme, what makes it and studying at the FHP in general so special and what she envisages for her own future.

What I like about my degree programme ...
...the joint creative work on cool projects and the inspiring cooperation between students and teachers at eye level. I also love the freedom and diversity of the subject and am grateful to be able to choose my own focus.

My favourite course was ...
...the product design course "Redesign physical products", with my design project for an inhaler for children.

Why is studying the right choice?
For me, studying was the right choice because I can safely make mistakes here and grow from them, I can live out and try out my abilities in versatile projects and I can build up my future prospects here.

What I like about my degree programme...
...the freedom in designing the course content, from course selection to homework topics to project work. In addition, theory and practice are closely linked through the combination of courses at the university and at the university of applied sciences.

Why is a degree programme the right choice?
A degree programme is perfect for those who, like me, like to avoid making decisions. You get the chance to try things out and find out about your own interests without having to make a binding commitment. At the same time, specialisation in certain areas is not prevented, but equally supported. You can get the best for yourself and your future, even without a master plan and concrete career goals.
