Would you like to learn how to produce a jaw-dropping art and sound event?
Are you interested in what makes an interactive video work?

Would you like to know how Mozart overcame his composer’s block?
And are you prepared to learn all this in an all-English environment?
Then this minor might be just what you’re looking for.
Together with talented fellow-students you’ll be working on a perfect integration of design and audio elements to produce a work of art fit to be shown at exhibitions, events, in real life or on the internet. You’ll need to have some (basic) skills already in visual- and/or sound design. And lots of creative talent. And, perhaps most important of all, the will and enthusiasm to overcome all the problems and pitfalls that are a creative artist’s lot.
If this description fits you then here’ s what you’ll learn:
- How to kick-start your creativity.
- How to collaborate in a group consisting of visual design- and sound specialists.
- How to merge sound and visuals into an end-product that is more than the sum of its parts.
More specifically you may work on:
Composing, Recording, Producing, Mixing, editing, mastering
and/or Storyboarding, Scriptwriting, Filming, Editing
Imagine the fun you will have learning the tricks of a trade that already engages the most creative talents, and pouring all your own artistic skills into a dazzling production that’ll boost your portfolio no end.
The student who wishes to join should be:
- An impassioned graphic designer with a strong affinity for audio in combination with multimedia, who has built up an above-average portfolio or
- A sound designer with extensive musical knowledge who, apart from being able to work with various music-software applications, is also at home in the designing side of things.
From the second year onwards students of Communication & Multimedia Design (or students from abroad) may join the minor. In real-life projects students work on the developing of campaigns with the focus on Art, Sound and Design.
This minor is offered twice a year: in September and in February for the duration of 1 semester (20 weeks).
During this period students may gain +/- 30 EC.
