Hessen International University offers the Visual Communication program in the form of a project-oriented study curriculum, aimed at imparting design and artistic methodologies across diverse media realms.

The program’s core purpose is to empower students to make substantial contributions to the molding of societal realities. This is achieved by nurturing a comprehensive, pragmatic, analytical, and critical mindset, while also encouraging engagement with the functions of art and culture, technology, science, and the marketplace. Within a resolutely transdisciplinary framework, the program establishes the bedrock for novel perspectives and approaches, interweaving theory and practice. This approach actively fosters the development of an individualized creative attitude and personalized working methodologies.

Beyond the focus on discipline-specific knowledge and techniques, the program uniquely underscores the cultivation of teamwork skills that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Additionally, it emphasizes the integration of aspects of social responsibility into individual projects. Collaborative ventures and innovations are fostered not only within specific study specializations but also across the entirety of the program. This creates an interactive, diverse, and captivating learning environment that is less rigid, allowing for freedom while maintaining a cohesive structure. The program’s manageable student cohort facilitates targeted and constructive critique, serving as fertile ground for personal artistic growth.

In the inaugural year of the curriculum, students partake in an interdisciplinary foundational course that imparts fundamental design principles and techniques spanning various visual media. Starting from the third semester, students gain the autonomy to select their major fields of study, which encompass Animation, Film and Moving Image, Film and Television, Photography, Games, Illustration and Comics, New Media, Editorial Design, and Theory and Practice of Visual Communication.
