The team is fully developing towards realistic, project-driven education. Within this educational vision, the student's development is central. Through rich feedback, students are encouraged to take an ever-greater step forward. Their development is monitored and examined via a portfolio. In addition, the team actively follows changes in the job market and translates these into the curriculum.

A colleague who brings energy, provides direction, and helps to transform working together into truly collaborative working.

In short: are you a Media Design lecturer who is ready for a new challenge and wants to be part of a creative and motivated team? Can you tell the difference between working together and collaborating as a team? Then we cordially invite you to apply for this vacancy.
