The programme Media Design, in the reference field of teaching and communication, is unique to the Austrian academic landscape. It puts a focus on artistic-experimental, but also on critical-reflective media competency as well as the transfer of this knowledge. Work in project groups and one-on-one supervision promote the individual development of students. Collaboration with non-university institutions like the Ars Electronica Center facilitates diverse projects. Our media lab is a place of experimenting and exploring individual practice as well as unconventional teaching concepts. Through joint projects, excursions, symposiums and guest lectures, we expand our focus and gain public attention.
