Bachelor Programme in Film and Media 

We educate the storytellers of the future who can contribute to the development of society, take their place and acquire a profession within a field in constant change. Develop artistic force, initiative and courage, learn entrepreneurial skills and build a network for life!

The Bachelor Programme in Film and Media is a collaborative, co-creative, team-based education. Through documentary storytelling, fiction, animation and immersive media production, you will develop your artistic skills in collaboration between sound, cinematography, production design, editing, production, directing and scripting.

Together we form a dynamic environment with theoretical teaching, practical lab courses and joint idea formation as a starting point. Within your specialization there are opportunities for international exchanges.

Relating to and meeting an audience is part of the education and through various forms of distribution you reach more groups in society. Accessibility is important for your stories to reach audiences in listening rooms, movie theaters or on platforms such as Extended Reality (XR).

We also explore the ethical, aesthetic, social and political implications of AI (artificial intelligence). A Bachelor's degree lays the foundation for lifelong learning!

Bachelor Specialisation in Animation

As a student in the Animation specialisation, you will develop your ability to tell stories through animation and to lead projects in animated film – animation directing. In previous bachelor's programmes, the focus has been on the work of the individual animator, but now the emphasis is on the role of the director – leading the artistic work of a team. At the same time, your personal skills as an animator are strengthened.

Animation's presence in society is overwhelming; it can be found in advertising, app interfaces, computer games, filmmakers, mobile games and digital art. Its ability to simplify and clarify makes animation one of the most powerful forms of communication in the 21st century. At the same time, animation has the ability to be deeply personal and can be used to interpret the world from your own perspective, as a unique form of artistic expression.
