Hochschule Mannheim

Hochschule Mannheim – University of Applied Sciences

For more than 100 years, the Hochschule Mannheim – University of Applied Sciences has been anticipating future educational demands. We can look back on a dynamic tradition and commitment to meeting future challenges with innovative educational concepts. The University’s outlook is global, and we actively promote international, scientific and cultural exchange between students. Our degree programs increasingly focus on the demands and opportunities of the international community.

The Faculty of Design’s Communication Designers are problem solvers, whose goal is to solve their client’s communicational problems. These issues can vary, for example, from a product not finding buyers, a long-established company wanting to develop into a trend brand, or even having a breakthrough idea on how to save the rainforest which should be shared worldwide.
Our perception of communication design not only requires a superb amount of creative capability, but also a deep understanding of the media and its social significance. Due to this, we provide extensive theoretical knowledge. This knowledge ranges from design theory and design critique, design history and philosophy, to even precisive strategical use and design management.

We are committed to keeping man-kind our main focus. Our goal is to help students develop into independent and productive individuals. We do not agree with the concept of adjusting students to becoming public utilities for the economy. We strive to uphold this principle with great fervor.

ECS (Paris)

ECS Paris is a private communications school that is part of the MediaSchool. ECS Paris aims to shape the next generation of communications professionals and prepare them for the job market.

The Mediaschool group believes that it is essential to promote the joy of studying by achieving academic rigor and practicing on real life cases. When you reach postgraduate level you should keep the sharpest possible focus on the demands of future employers. They conduct regular audits to ensure that students and tutors are following the current examination specifications and options. They place great emphasis on the presentation facing professional juries. They use exam-based teaching methods featuring written homework and timed tests. Students receive regular examination practice in addition to sitting trial examinations in December and May. By forming agencies composed by student groups, they ensure full understanding of the cases on different levels and build confidence and team spirit. Relatively small class sizes (average 20) and intensive tuition mean that all students are given personal attention. When additional explanation is necessary, their teachers make time available on a one-to-one basis. Our goal is to make our graduates the most sought after by agencies profiles, media and advertisers in their chosen specialty.
