All courses are offered both in German and English (German around 80%, and English around 20%).

Within the program, "DIGITAL ARTIS", students can acquire in a maximum three year program, the important fundamental theoretical knowledge and practical hands-on know-how, from classical animation, to 3D animation, digital compositing, as well as the generation of virtual worlds – for the currently unique and regularly updated career profile of the “Digital Artist”.
