The study programmes at our school are united by the fact that we always encourage and challenge our students. Encourage in their individual strengths and interests. Challenge in their thinking and creativity. We see ourselves as a place where the new, the unexpected or even utopian is created. Not only the obviously feasible.
Prof. Bettina Borchardt, Academic Director
For me, studying photography at the BSDC was perfect. I was challenged and encouraged. In my opinion, this is exactly what is needed in creative study programmes.
Martin de Crignis - Alumnus BA Fotografie
I chose the Marketing Communication course because it allows me to combine creativity and academic teaching: The lecturers succeed in illustrating abstract knowledge with examples from the industry and motivate us students to find creative solutions for challenging tasks.
