A traditional, yet innovative approach in a both historic and fascinating setting right next to (and in) the Bauhaus. The MID programme incorporates the essentials of design: communication design, product design, space, audiovisual and digital media. These are blended through rigorous fundamental training and interdisciplinary problem solving. This progressive international programme focuses on the development of intercultural competences. It uses the truly synergetic power of a working environment with students from various countries and cultural backgrounds. The programme requires a high level of media competence. Projects are based on both practical and experimental research. Students are encouraged to come up with systematic, creative and individual solutions. International designers, visiting artists and other specialists will support projects according to the topic and their professional area of specialisation.
