Information and Communication Design Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences

Overview

Key Features

Websites, interfaces, brochures, books, posters, trademarks - we are surrounded by the works of Communication Designers. Good communication design is not only functional but receptive to emotional aspects as well. This is why communication designers have to find solutions to a huge variety of questions: Which feature does a user interface need to make it easy to operate? What kind of package design is suited best to emphasise the qualities of a product? How can a diagram distil complex information into a more easily understandable form? Which image is most appropriate to capture the power and fascination of music on a concert poster? How can I find a creative and intelligent concept to help a business stand out from the crowd? The list goes on.

Designers of the future will not just be responsible for staging the products of others. Working in interdisciplinary teams, they will be tasked more and more with developing contents, products and services from scratch. This is why at Rhine-Waal we put a special emphasis on interdisciplinary cooperation and work closely with our faculty´s IT experts, psychologists, natural scientists, engineers and economists.

The Information and Communication Design Bachelor offered by Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences is taught in English to provide you with language skills that will be highly appreciated by future clients and employers who increasingly approach design from a global point of view.
