Mul­ti­me­dia and Cre­ative Technology

This module focuses on conceptual thinking and developing strong, cohesive brand ideas. You’ll create compelling visual narratives by combining storytelling, design, and copywriting to build a clear and engaging identity.

 
Through hands-on projects, you’ll experiment with bold concepts and translate them across a range of media—from digital platforms to motion and print. The result is a refined brand story that balances technical skill with creative exploration.

Building on your programming fundamentals, this course focuses on structuring code and developing functional applications using TypeScript. You’ll learn object-oriented programming, work with both relational and non-relational databases, and explore how to manage and deploy data effectively.
Using modern JavaScript frameworks and build tools, you’ll create applications that run locally—similar to tools like Discord or Notion—while gaining hands-on experience with real-world development workflows.

In this project-based course, you’ll work in a team to design and build an IoT and/or AI application. Across three intensive project weeks, you’ll move from concept to a functional prototype and deliver a professional end product.
With guidance from lecturers and inspiration sessions on IoT, AI, and machine learning, you’ll gain hands-on experience in project management and collaborative development.

This course focuses on developing mobile applications for iPhone and iPad. You’ll start with the fundamentals of object-oriented programming in Swift and quickly move into building user interfaces with SwiftUI’s modern, declarative approach.
You’ll design interactive apps, work with data, and explore key concepts like design patterns, event handling, and data storage. Along the way, you’ll integrate Apple frameworks and apply the iOS Human Interface Guidelines to create intuitive user experiences.
The course also introduces you to emerging technologies, including Apple Vision Pro, giving you a glimpse into the future of Apple’s ecosystem.

In this course, you’ll design and build your own Android app from scratch. You’ll explore the Android ecosystem, create intuitive user interfaces, and develop features that work seamlessly across different devices.
Along the way, you’ll dive into key concepts like layouts, navigation, data handling, background processes, and performance—while applying best practices and design guidelines used in the industry.
Your work will be hands-on and project-based: you’ll be assessed on the app you develop, giving you a practical, portfolio-ready result by the end of the course.

The aim of the "Survival Dutch" course is to master the basics of the Dutch language, both written and spoken. Starting from everyday situations, you will learn the necessary grammar and vocabulary in order to function in a Dutch speaking environment.

We strongly recommend incoming students to participate in the Survival Dutch course, organized prior to the start of the semester.

Students gain knowledge and an understanding of the complexities of social and spatial justice through lectures, external activities and working lectures. This promotes their global citizenship and critical attitude towards social issues. In doing so, they explore themes from a rather theoretical point of view.

The course component focuses on developing transdisciplinary skills through hands-on activities and external visits or workshops. Students learn the added value of interdisciplinarity and how to collaborate on innovative solutions from different disciplines. They also explore the concept of transdisciplinarity and how it can be translated research-wise. Therefore it includes strengthening the research competences of (international) students from an interdisciplinary point of view.

Students gain practical experience through workplace learning and integrate together with fellow students their ‘transdisciplinary’ research in practice, supported by coaching and working lectures. This fosters their entrepreneurial spirit and ability to work in diverse teams and develop innovative solutions.
