In the winter semester 2021/22, students of the B.A. Graphic Design and Visual Communication had the task of developing a concept for a self-help app in Prof. Rasmus Giesel's course "Interactive Media". After an extensive research phase, in which they created personas, user journeys and prototypes, among other things, they started designing. The final product was a set of click dummies in which users can test the core functions.

As part of a collaboration with ALBA BERLIN, students of the B.A. Graphic Design and Visual Communication developed over 50 design and marketing ideas.

Hands on! In the winter semester 2021/22, master students of Prof. Jenny Bergström's Design Thinking course developed innovative concepts with a focus on health in a practical project with Futurice, an international innovation and service design company with Finnish roots. Whether it was a fitness app, a children's book or a communicative card game, all students approached the task with curiosity, an open mind and a lot of energy.
On Saturday, numerous Media University Berlin graduates were given a ceremonial farewell by the university management, department heads and lecturers during a virtual graduation ceremony.
