The masterclass Graphic Design is the only graphic-design education in Austria especially for technicians and students interested in the technology of classic and new media environments. Acquire not only theoretical knowledge but learn to technically implement it as well.

In the module "Professional Field", you are familiarised with requirements and perspectives in the areas of "Research", "Doing" and "Founding". You are encouraged to deal specifically with possible occupational fields. You can choose between the following areas: 

  • "Research" in this context means being involved in research, development and innovation.
  • "Doing" addresses those professional aspects in which one's competencies are exercised when commissioned by others, e.g. in an employment relationship.
  • "Founding" refers to the founding of your own company with independent, innovative ideas, services or problem-solving approaches.
