You will get to know all relevant areas of visual and digital communication - and learn which designs have an impact.  

You will apply your theoretical knowledge to numerous practical projects and deepen your knowledge in areas such as audio-visual, didactic, space or cross-media design. For your later work as a communication designer, it is especially important that you present your ideas and results skilfully.
