THIS IS WHAT WE OFFER > PROGRAM OVERVIEW
-
The goal is to build a successful portfolio in Art Direction/Digital Design or Copywriting/Creative Concepting during 2 years of studying. That’s why we call it „Portfolio Program“. The entire program is split into 8 quarters. The duration of each quarter is 10 weeks. And it results in the Creative Diploma after 2 years or 8 quarters of education.
-
During the first year, you’ll be based at the school in Berlin. Here you get the foundation to progress in your portfolio building journey. How? Through 5-7 classes perweek and assignments in topics like Concepting, Design & Layout, Adobe Creative Cloud, Script Writing, etc.
-
In your second year, you’ll go on the Quarter Away terms, traveling the world and learning to apply the tools in real life, at partnering agencies. The school will connect you directly to these agencies. This gives you the possibility to have working experience at an international level and to expand your personal & professional network!.
-
In your 8th quarter, you will be working on the finishing touches of your portfolio and graduate from school with a Creative Diploma. After graduation, we organizePlacement Support - i.e. Portfolio Screenings with a dozen leading European agencies.
-
You'll probably get the most intense 2 years of your life when you study with us! Our award-winning school leaves you with a lot of practical experiences where you will not only make new friends and have a lot of fun doing it, but indeed build our own international network of Creatives like no other program can do!
