Programme profile


This programme encompasses a variety of forms, techniques, styles and applications of audiovisual media.

Students make films and videos, podcasts, installations, interactives, immersives and performances. They apply all kinds of genres: documentary, essay, fiction and everything in between. The common denominator is that the end results always focus on an involved and substantive story, which is told by means of images and sound.

The creative process is at the core of this course. Students learn how a creative process works and how to build their own process.

Besides the fixed part of the curriculum, students shape their own studies based on their own interests and needs. In the Stations of the Academy you will find a variety of knowledge, skills and techniques that you can draw on: Interaction Station, Image & Sound Station, Publication Station, Material Station, Drawing Station, Fabric Station, Business Station, Education Station and Research Station

Programme content


You are expected to have a basic level of prior knowledge in the field of audio-visual design and working with images, as well as an interest in storytelling. Students are expected to explore and take risks, to accept (and even embrace) failure. You will be learning to reflect upon your own work and that of your fellow students. The assignments you will be working on will partly be defined by a client, and partly by your own areas of interest. You will be developing your own visual language. You will be learning to work collaboratively within a team. You will be learning to pitch and to communicate your ideas to clients, to a crew and to the public. Eventually you will be working on the realisation of a final product suitable for a public showing.
