Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

Creative, interdisciplinary environment
The design campus is located on the banks of the Moselle near the city center. Almost 1,000 students live and work here in the fields of intermedia design, communication design, fashion design, interior design and architecture.

In your job you will later work in mixed teams. You will also learn this through joint projects with students from other design subjects, but also from computer science (digital media and games).
Integrated into the course is the annual 'Interdisciplinary Project Week', in which all subjects in the Design Department work together to realize overarching projects. Then the design campus is transformed into a seething creative pool in which students and lecturers from all disciplines work together on an interdisciplinary basis.
Modern equipment
To enable you to put your ideas into practice, a wide range of modern equipment is available that can be used directly in the media laboratories and can also be borrowed. You can let off steam creatively in 7 laboratories in a wide variety of areas!
