University of Europe for Applied Sciences, Germany
The Illustration program at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) integrates traditional artistic disciplines like painting, drawing, and graphic art with the allure of contemporary design through the use of advanced digital methods. This program utilizes illustrations to convey intricate concepts in various mediums such as newspapers, magazines, infographics, advertisements, posters, websites, and apps. Additionally, it brings narratives to life in picture books and comics, as well as constructs complete films or virtual environments through storyboards and concept arts.
It
was formed in 2017 as the University of Applied Sciences Europe by a merger of the Business and Information
Technology School and the Berliner Technische
Kunsthochschule. The university was previously owned by the
American company Laureate Education and
was acquired by Global University Systems in
2018. In October 2020, the university changed its name to University of Europe
for Applied Sciences.
