IDUM part-time
Once you have successfully completed the two DOGtime foundation years, you can choose the specialisation DOGtime IDUM, in which you will be trained as an interactive designer. This means that you will be trained as a designer of contexts in the form of language, images and behaviour. Interaction Design-Unstable Media (IDUM) brings together various disciplines: graphic design, communication, audio-visual and interaction design. After graduation you may use the title Bachelor of Design (BDes).

The study programme positions itself on the cutting edge between applied interaction design and a more autonomous form of working with interactive, unstable media. You will learn to be a keen observer who develops his/her vision and is able to convert it into a communicative product. In this specialisation students learn to become multidisciplinary designers, with graduates finding work as designers in both the public and the private domain. The term Unstable Media refers to the recent development that the media ensure that no cultural, social or political context can be captured unequivocally any longer. Both the work and its operation are considered perpetually unstable. Within the study programme students are given the opportunity to use the ‘unstable’ orientation of the media landscape in this context to experiment with communication and interaction and inter-reaction processes, generate networks and study new uses of communication, commerce, old-new media and autonomous visual work.
Courses offered
Subjects include sensor-driven applications, image, audio and movement, processing, new media and unstable media theory, and interaction and inter-reaction design, internet studies.
