Storytelling
"All great truths come to us through stories."
Whether in film, art, news, marketing or even in our daily life, Storytelling is the key to everything. Stories have been shared in every culture for thousands of years. All stories are different. Only in one element they are the same: They are aimed at people. Every one of us has got a story to tell. Discover the hidden secrets of Storytelling in film, media, marketing or with the taxi driver bringing you home. And find your story.

About our programs
Exchange students are able to choose from a variety of English-taught Minor Programs. Each Minor is a one semester long set program. Most Minors run every semester, and normally consist of 30 ECTS credits. 1 ECTS credit normally equals approximately 30 hours of work. Please note that it is NOT possible to pick and mix courses from different Minors. In order to be admitted to one of our Minors, we expect students to have a language level of B2 or higher in English (non-native speakers need to include proof of language proficiency in their application documents).
