Course content
University of Applied Sciences
Admissions
Design can be understood as an economic and a Heinrich-Heine-Strae 15
cultural intervention. It is an important competitive and 10170 Berlin
economic factor, as it brings designers, users, and Germany
markets into view. Design is a stimulus for innovation. It
is both shaped by and influences value and moral
systems in different social and cultural contexts. In
teaching as well as in research, the study programmes
of the Faculty of Design at BAU International Berlin are
connected to ongoing developments in the area of
design and the corresponding innovative processes in
business and technology.
The Bachelor's programme Communication Design at
BAU International Berlin - University of Applied
Sciences prepares students for the increasingly
challenging fields of communication and new media -
particularly in the cultural, educational and industrial
areas. Creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving
skills, adaptability, an international outlook,
interdisciplinary experience, and intercultural
competence are of special importance for all
programmes of the Faculty of Design, including
Communication Design.
The goal of the programme is to integrate digital
technologies into creative processes, which form the
basis of communication design. Communication
designers can work nationally and internationally in
many different constellations - as graphic designers,
motion designers, interface and interaction designers,
or web designers.
Systematic thinking and theoretical and practical
comprehension of complex forms are core elements of
communication design. Therefore, the programme
aims to equip students with these tools and with
competences to work in different cultural contexts.
Since an internship is part of the studies at BAU
International Berlin, the students can also use the
internship opportunities provided by the CO-OP
programme as part of the BAU Global Network.

Educational organisation

Step by step, students learn in small groups how to


plan, design and present their projects to a specific
target audience. In the basic study period, students
acquire the fundamental tools of a designer with
examples of basic creative tasks. Interdisciplinary
design projects are the focus of the second study
period. Using complex real-life tasks, students will
develop sustainable and competitive high-level design
solutions.
The modules and courses offered vary in type:
lectures, seminars, accompanying exercises and
projects are part of the curriculum. Common to all
courses are small-group approaches, discussions,
presenting and defending design ideas as well as
evaluating design ideas and projects. The modules and
courses build upon each other.
A unique factor of the design programmes at BAU
International Berlin is - alongside the strong practice-
oriented approach and the interdisciplinary focus of all
programmes - the international and intercultural setting
of the university: the Global Education Network of BAU
universities enables students from Berlin to study and
to do research in joint projects with students from other
university locations. Thus, the fourth semester can be
organised as an exchange semester at another
university within the BAU Global Education Network.
Additionally, several topic-oriented courses (e.g.
photography) are offered at one of the international
locations.

Study abroad unit(s)

A study abroad period is not obligatory for students of


the programme at BAU International Berlin. Since BAU
International Berlin - University of Applied Sciences is a
part of the BAU Global Education Network, study
abroad experiences at other BAU universities or
campuses in Istanbul, Washington DC, Rome, Hong
Kong, Silicon Valley or Toronto are encouraged.
Internships

An internship of approx. 10 weeks (15 credits) is to be


completed by the end of the fifth semester. Programme
advisers and a staff member at the Internship Office
will assist students in finding an appropriate internship
in Germany or abroad.

daily life. They work in design or public relations
agencies, design departments of companies and
organisations, publishing companies, TV stations, or
social media networks, in cultural or public institutions.
They design pictures, texts, illustrations, books,
newspapers, films, and are at home in the Internet
medium. They work with printed and digital media in all
fields. They work internationally and in an
interdisciplinary way in close cooperation with
designers and experts from other branches.
Communication designers can work nationally and

About the university

BAU International Berlin - University of Applied


Sciences was founded as part of a growing
international network of university campuses, offering
students a cutting-edge, international study experience
and an ideal preparation for careers in the increasingly
globalised, modern business environment. BAU
International Berlin is built on the experience in offering
courses from six different study areas in Berlin as part
of the BAU Global Network. Since 2012, we have
offered courses in Berlin and have built our modern
campus, so that we can now welcome students to our
own new study programmes. BAU International Berlin
is a non-profit institution designed to enrich the higher
education landscape in Germany. Currently, BAU
International Berlin consists of two faculties, the Faculty
of Business Administration and the Faculty of Design.
An expansion is planned for the mid-term future with
regard to programmes in Preschool Education and
Health Care (especially Senior Health Care).
Internationality and interculturalism are central features
of the university. In Berlin - one of the most important
metropolises in Europe - students and scholars from all
over the world learn to deal with the challenges of a
progressively globalising world. The language of
instruction in all study programmes is English.
Additionally, in order to further advance students'
international career opportunities, language courses
will be offered as elective courses. A central
component of all study programmes will also be
general skills training in areas such as presentation
skills, self-organisation, intercultural communication,
and business plan and concept development. Our goal
is to offer a challenging, innovative and practice-
oriented education that advances the cultural and
linguistic potential of our students. A good teacher-to-
student and staff-to-student ratio will allow for individual
support and close counselling of all students. With an
English-language-based, interdisciplinary-oriented
education, our students will gain excellent foundations
for an international career. In addition to this strong
focus on the education of our students, BAU
International Berlin also distinguishes itself from the
majority of universities of applied sciences by placing
an equally strong focus on excellence in research. For
this reason, our university features a stand-alone
research institute located between and supporting our
two faculties. At this institute, scholars from BAU
International Berlin and partner institutions cooperate
on state-of-the-art research initiatives in the fields of
design, economics, and social sciences. BAU
International Berlin will swiftly become a unique and
highly visible part of the higher education landscape in
Berlin. We invite all interested students, researchers
and institutional partners to contact us about
opportunities for study, cooperation and exchange.

About the city

It is no coincidence that Berlin has been chosen to host


the new BAU International Berlin - University of Applied
Sciences campus. Berlin is one of the most innovative
and exciting cities in contemporary Europe, as well as
the city that is most attractive and in demand
specifically for university students. BAU International
Berlin's students will have the opportunity to learn
about German culture, politics, history, and daily life,
and at the same time will be able to get to know their
new home easily with the help of many internationally
oriented businesses and services throughout the city.
Also, life in Berlin is made easy for BAU International
Berlin's students thanks to the opportunity to book a
place in one of the university's student apartments.
Berlin is a city of science and research. More than
200,000 people from all over the world work, study, and
do research at more than 30 universities and 60
research institutions throughout Berlin. Excellent
university and state libraries as well as museums
provide a stimulating intellectual atmosphere. BAU
International Berlin - University of Applied Sciences
maintains partnerships with many universities and
scientific institutions in Berlin, and organises joint
activities for our students.
The special atmosphere and charm of Berlin are a
result of its very distinct urban character. It is the
largest and most lively urban centre in Germany - a
hub of government, business and culture - and at the
same time it is Germany's greenest city, with two large
rivers, hundreds of parks, and large forests that offer
great opportunities to spend time outdoors. The city
boasts more than 170 museums, many theatres, and
three state operas. Throughout the year, festivals of
music, theatre, and cinema take place in Berlin. In
addition, the city has become known all over the world
for its young lifestyle, its night life, cafs and bars.
Berlin has also become a centre of global fashion
design, with large annual fairs such as the "Bread &
Butter" and the "Berlin Fashion Week".
