Programme modules
Students wishing to study one semester abroad are recommended to use the fifth semester for this purpose.
Elective subjects
Classes equivalent to 30 credits must be chosen from the four elective subject areas listed below; the minimum of credits to be accumulated in any one of elective subjects is 6.
- Time-based media: 6-12 credits
- Interactive media and programming: 6-12 credits
- Media, art and cultural theories: 6 credits
- Organisation, project management and law: 6 credits
Since students may choose courses equivalent to 6 to 12 credits per study area, account is taken of their individual interest focuses.
