Basic goals

The basic goals of the post-graduate programme Graphic and Interactive Communications are: to expand the knowledge of graduates of the university programme in the area of graphic and interactive communication; to gain theoretical knowledge, practical skills and competences in the field of media, graphic and interactive communications. The engineering, supported by basic natural science knowledge, enables the development of creative and research work in the design of printed products, packaging and interactive media and the development of applications in computer graphics. Advanced conceptual thinking in design and basic art skills are integrated with technological knowledge in project-oriented work.
