We will soon tell you how much space VIDE has for you!
As of 1 September 2006, VIDE will provide vocational demand-driven studies in visual communication at master’s level, the VIDE special. Demand-driven means the individual student’s affinity with the field of visual communication is the starting point for how the study programme is set up.The formulating of this demand forms an important part of the admission procedure.
Example:
If you would like to specialise in a certain discipline of visual communication, you will be capable of asking VIDE the right question.
For instance: Can VIDE design a study in 'design in motion'?
This question marks the beginning of an introductory period that should lead to a more accurate formulation of that question. We on the other hand shall be asking several counter-questions. We want to find out what ‘design in motion’ exactly means to you. We know what it is about, but we are interested in your ideas and your reason for wanting to specialize in this field in particular.
We would also like to learn about your practical knowledge and experience in this field and the period you intend to make available for this study. Naturally we would like you to show us your talents through a presentation of results from previous studies.
Should discussions lead to positive results, VIDE will make a proposal as to a study programme in selected disciplines, within the agreed time. VIDE will then approach various designers who would qualify for study guidance. Once the future student agrees to VIDE’s suggestions, the admission procedure will be completed.
The student is expected to invest a considerable amount of their time. To facilitate this high input process VIDE offers intensive personal coaching by top teachers and the space to learn throughout the year. By efficiently structuring the study, its duration can be reduced considerably compared to other studies. During the admission procedure the candidate student receives detailed explanation on the VIDE formula.An essential element in the formula is that students regularly work together on projects offered to VIDE by respected third parties (companies and institutions), or are used in support activities such as workshops, seminars, conferences and exhibitions organised by VIDE. Students can also initiate activities themselves, and can play a role in the annual summer experiences organised by VIDE.
A positive climate is necessary for a study to be successful. So a range of activities is organised to promote this, including excursions in the Netherlands and abroad, and participation in various cultural events. Studying in the workplace also has a positive effect and on the development of the ability to co-operate in the study and subsequently in professional practice.

Studies are aimed at developing students’ design talents in parallel with knowledge of the communications art. This not only trains designers in packaging the communication message, but also being a discussion partner in the development of communication strategies. They are also involved in their clients’ internal and external communication, both as thinkers and doers!
