Location of Saxion University of Applied Sciences

The world we live in is changing radically and very rapidly, because of the speed with which technology is developing. It has become a fact of life that technology is ever-present in our society. As a result of this, information is there for the taking or even imposed upon people. Moreover, because of designers´ boundless creativity, communication means are now literally and figuratively unlimited.

Citizens in today´s society play an (inter)active role in a virtual world that they are able to influence to a certain extent. Consequently the individual´s increasing independence will lead to a spectacular increase of choices, which in its turn will result in an infinite number of designs for spreading and sharing information.

Saxion´s school of Applied Art and Technology aspires to continue educating students for management and creative jobs, in which perspective as well as looking and thinking ahead while working guarantee creative, innovative and ethical contributions to society. If you are interested in this course you need to be creative and interested in technology. You should have the ability to share knowledge, skills and opinions, bring these up for discussion and take responsibility for the content of your contribution. Your task will be to work independently and acquire competencies linked to the final attainment levels. To achieve this, the school of Applied Art and Technology pays much attention to the development of communicative and management skills, as a result of which the students will be able to share their helicopter view with colleagues, employees and customers.

Career prospects

For students who graduate from Art & Technology there are a great number of job opportunities in various disciplines. You can find employment in multimedia or internet companies, but there is also a great demand from advertising companies, research institutes, audio-video companies or Communication and IT agencies. The Art & Technology programme covers a wide range of subjects and enables you to acquire both a management post that involves leading a multi-media team of specialists and to work as a producer yourself. In the near future there will be an even higher demand for A&T graduates.


Contents

The final year at Art and Technology will result in a Bachelor degree in Art and Technology. Therefore the contents of the entire programme (including the three years of education in your home country) must be as similar as possible to the programme of Art and Technology, at competency-level.

Art and Technology has seven graduation profiles. The final-year student can graduate in one of these graduation profiles:

  1. Broadcasting
  2. Interactive Media
  3. Installation Art
  4. Media Management
  5. Advertising
  6. Virtual Storytelling
  7. Web technology

Within the chosen graduation profile you can choose your own field of expertise, depending on your professional image. You will receive individual guidance from specialists in these fields.

Requirements

For all Saxion pathways the following general entry requirements are necessary:

  • The student must demonstrate that they have the ability, motivation and determination to successfully complete the course;
  • The student must be admissible to Higher Education through a diploma of secondary education/high school diploma with good results such as for Dutch students VWO, HAVO or MBO and for foreign students diplomas which are equivalent to e.g. the German Abitur (algemeine Hochschulreife), the British GCE A-levels or (I) GCSE grades A, B or C, the French Baccalaureat or the American High School (top stream or plus 1 year's college);
  • The student must have sufficient English language skills for the specific course.

The students´ qualifications will be assessed by the Admission Officer of the specific Course on the basis of provided Diplomas, Curriculum Vitae, a letter of motivation and if necessary an Intake Interview.

English language proficiency

For Both Bachelor and Master Courses the entry requirement is an Academic IELTS of 6.0 or an equivalent in another language test (TOEFL 550, etc.).

If you want to be considered for Art and Technology, either one of the following categories will apply:

  1. Your previous education consists in having successfully completed three or four years of studies at bachelor level at a university the School of Applied Art and Technology has made an agreement with. Students of designated courses can be admitted. On the basis of students´ previous education the school decides on which final year profiles a student can choose from. During the Final Year orientation phase, after consultation with the Final Year coordinator, you may choose other profiles in accordance with your portfolio.
    Subsequently, in consultation with the final project coach, a plan will be made for the contents of the profile chosen.
  2. Your previous education consists in having successfully completed three or four years of studies at bachelor level at a university the School of Applied Art and Technology has not made an agreement with. In each individual case a student´s previous education will be looked at to establish if there is a sufficient similarity with the first 3 years of the Art and Technology course. Consequently you need to submit a CV, testimonials, a letter of motivation and an interactive portfolio (website, CD rom or DVD) and to take part in an assessment (by telephone or by means of webcam) to establish your communicative skills.
