The Course Structure
The first two semesters in the first year consist of theory courses and learning/instruction oriented projects. The second year is largely spent on design projects.
Because of variation in the undergraduate backgrounds, the courses are kept flexible enough to level out the differences and bring all students on a common footing by the end of the second semester.
The project orientation is fully reflected in the course structure. The simple projects in Visual Communication, Product Design, Animation and Interaction Design are introduced in the 1st semester.
Depending on their interest the students choose elective courses in the 2nd and 3rd semester.
In the last two semesters the students undertake three application oriented projects of varying duration and complexities. They also undertake a special project oriented towards design research.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
