Not only students, but also lecturers can gain exciting experience at host universities as part of an Erasmus+ teaching mobility. Prof. Jenny Bergström from the Department of Design was recently a guest at the University of Lapland in Rovaniemi and gave a Design Thinking workshop there.

For Tabea Otto, graduate of the M.A. Communication Design and Creative Strategies program, a dream came true right after graduation: In this interview, she tells us more about her new job as a designer at the well-known agency MetaDesign, as well as her experiences during her studies.

Where are the women? The fact that women are often not included in school curricula is not without consequences: It strongly maintains gender inequality in society. Based on extensive research and interviews with educational experts, Giulia Ferla developed a pedagogical tool for teachers as part of her master's thesis. Here she reports on how she came to deal with this highly relevant topic and how she benefits from her studies at HMKW.

Just in time for the start of the summer semester 2023, the first-year students in the HMKW Bachelor's and Master's programs will be ceremoniously enrolled.

Tamara Orlovsky was recently honored - after graduating with a B.A. in Graphic Design and Visual Communication (dual) - by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) as Berlin's 2022 Best in the IHK final exam for media designer digital/print.  For her bachelor's thesis, she also spoke with residents of a variety of shared apartments in Berlin and documented their lives in photographs. In the interview, we wanted to learn more about these recent successes and projects, as well as her experiences during her studies.

Recently, Mauricio Camacho successfully completed his master's degree in M.A. Communication Design and Creative Strategies. Here he shares insights about his studies, current projects as well as his master's thesis, which was even awarded as one of the best theses from the department of Design at the last graduation ceremony.

For 35 Berlin graduates, a new phase in their lives officially began this Saturday: at the graduation ceremony in the Phorms Theater, they were honored and given a ceremonial farewell by the university administration and their lecturers.

As part of Prof. Jenny Bergström's Design Thinking course, our Master's students (M.A. Communication Design and Creative Strategies) developed ideas for so-called FlexPoint containers in cooperation with the creative agency C4 Berlin and the companies Schindler and Inno2grid.
