C-md students are sensitive to social needs and creative in designing
new media solutions. They rely freely and richly on insights into art design, audiovisual media, business and social studies.
All of our modules and research projects evolve around 3 themes: Design,
New Media and Social Perspective.

design
For our students, designing is a crossdisciplinary practice. To create new media concepts, they rely on insights into art, design, audiovisual media,
business and social studies. The output is variable: from a game, a website, a mobile application to an interactive installation or even
avant-garde forms of interfacing. What all concepts share is a
dedication to a multimedial approach, combining graphic, audiovisual, textual and
software based elements into an encompassing experience.

new media
Our students get to know existing structures and applications of new
media, but learn to think beyond them. How can these media be modified
and/or combined to open up new ways of use and design? Our students experiment with technology and media from a point of view that merges
aesthetics with functionality.

social perspective
Our students research the needs of society, analyze existing new media solutions, and think up new, and better ones. Our students investigate the social and cultural implications of new media in society, and come up with ideas that would benefit today's network society.
