Master programme Gutenberg Intermedia
The new three-semester Master programme »Gutenberg Intermedia« is expected to begin in the winter semester 2010/11 as part of a consecutive study programme.
The master study programme “Gutenberg Intermedia”, which lasts 18 months (normal study time is 3 semesters), is intended as a consecutive study programme and focuses on application. As the name of the programme implies, in the long line of media development initiated by Gutenberg, the interaction between traditional and new forms of media is analyzed scientifically and creatively enhanced.
The goal of the master programme is to train especially talented graduates of the bachelor programme Communication Design within the framework of interdisciplinary design projects, who will gain methodic and organisational skills which enable them to take on management roles in the area of comprehensive design practice and research.
Graduates work in the occupational field as Art Directors, Creative Directors, Communication Designers in education and research and in agencies, publishing houses, design offices, cultural institutions and in the design departments of industrial and media companies.
Application deadline is 15th June 2010.
The traditionally superior training in design in Mainz is reflected year for year by the dozens of international design awards granted to students in Mainz, among others the D&AD Award, RedDot Best of the Best, TDC, ADC, iF-Award, Lucky Strike, Josef-Binder-Award, output, sushi, and Adobe Design Award.
Theme: Science and Design
What is Science? How can approaches in scientific research be visually communicated? Which methods are used in the different scientific disciplines? Can methods of other disciplines be applied to our design? What is the meaning of research in design? Can the approaches of the design be applied to other scientific disciplines?
The first year of the Gutenberg-Intermedia Master Programme is devoted to the interaction between science and design. The city of Mainz, as «Science City 2011», offers an ideal setting for this. In this nationwide event the students will actively participate, e.g. by communicating the subject of «Science» throughout the city. In cooperation with scientific institutions you will research data suitable for creative representation and develop location-based projects to research and implement new forms of communication and interaction in the public environment. This could happen via a classic poster campaign, via graphic, typographic or photographic work, even as far as the computer-based visualisation of data.
