The second semester builds on these foundations with a focus on graphic design, ideation strategies, editorial design, media studies, and film through practical labs and elective courses. By the third semester, the emphasis shifts to conceptual development and corporate design, where students explore brand identity, aesthetics, and applied research through modules like Concept and Text, Corporate Design I–II, and Project-Oriented Work. The fourth semester continues with communication strategy, advanced editorial design, interdisciplinary collaboration in the SRH Lab, and additional electives. The fifth semester marks the mobility phase, giving students the opportunity to participate in a project or excursion and complete a professional internship in Germany or abroad. In the sixth semester, the curriculum explores spatial and audiovisual communication through modules like Communication in Space I–II, Scientific Colloquium, and Research + Aesthetics II, alongside electives. The final semester focuses on professional integration, with modules in Integrated Communication, Entrepreneurship and Media Law, and a comprehensive Writing Workshop to prepare students for the Bachelor Thesis. Throughout the program, students gain hands-on experience in design studios and labs, collaborate with peers and professionals, and have opportunities to specialise in editorial, corporate, or interactive design. The course culminates in the development of a personal design portfolio and an academic thesis, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for creative careers in agencies, media companies, or as freelance designers.
