What I particularly like about my degree programme ...
... the practical work, the realisation of real projects and the proximity to the lecturers.

A highlight of my degree programme was ... 
... working with my fellow students on various projects and the subsequent exhibitions and realisations. I was able to learn a lot from my fellow students and we always developed creative and innovative ideas together. My weaknesses were compensated for by the strengths of my fellow students, while I was also able to pass on my knowledge and skills.

What I like about my degree programme is ...
… its versatility – I can put together my courses freely and choose interdisciplinary subjects from interface, product, and communication design.

My favorite course so far has been ...
… one about the design of administrative procedures and how they might look in 50 years.

Why is this program the right choice?
… studying Interface Design as a bachelor’s degree at a public university is unique – and, with over 25 years of history, it is the oldest program of its kind in Germany.

What I like about my degree programme is ...
… that I am repeatedly given the freedom to choose topics that genuinely interest me and that I want to explore creatively. This gives me the opportunity to combine my different interests and strengths.

A highlight of my studies is ...
… our campus. Places like the casino, our small campus garden, and many stylish workshops are very inviting. Instead of heading home right away, you can stay at the university to work on your projects and enjoy some relaxed co-working time with other students after class.
