Graphic arts, design and multimedia applications are significant elements that flow into the teaching and learning throughout the program. In the core area of communication, the curriculum offers, among other subjects, Media Theory, Rhetoric, Language & Style, PR Work, and International Media Markets.

The practical orientation of the program is given mainly by integrative case studies and projects carried out in cooperation with partners from the sciences and the marketing, media and communication business. As an important part of their studies, students have numerous possibilities to formally develop their social skills, especially in the context of courses that focus on techniques in presentation, communication, negotiation, sales, teamwork and conflict management.
