Gain deep creative control in editing - processing supplied source material into a unique, coherent final product. You’ll master technical aspects like color correction and grading across various genres while adhering to copyright and quality standards.

Develop an essential professional habit - identifying the next big thing. Apply trend research frameworks to scan the international social landscape, document emerging trends, and translate your insights into innovative applications or services.

Focused on future-proofing your career, explore innovative technologies like IoT, Smart Cities, and Wearables. You’ll evaluate these in terms of social, legal, and ethical value and proactively build a portfolio of sources and contacts to stay ahead of the curve

Move beyond basic business models to interpret financials. You’ll analyze and select optimal revenue models, craft a solid financial plan, assess pricing strategies, and identify the most suitable funding methods (like venture capital) for your business cases.

Unlock the visual language, learning to translate ideas into effective communication. You’ll practice the fundamentals of photo editing and vector drawing, with a strong focus on creating functional artifacts like a vector logo and a professional interface - always justifying your design choices with professional arguments.

This course will help you to develop your skills in Dutch, the language spoken in the Netherlands and in Flanders. 

The learning objective is to reach level A1 of the CEFR for languages: 

• Understand and use familiar everyday basic phrases.
• Introduce yourself and others.
• Interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.

However, students who are fluent in German tend to learn Dutch very fast and can reach an A2 level in one semester and will have the chance to do so. 

• You’ll learn about the culture of Antwerp and Belgium.
• You’ll recognize grammatical structures (A1) and use them (A2).
• You’ll develop your vocabulary, listening and speaking skills.
• You can choose between a more interactive and fun approach or a more classical approach focusing on grammar and vocabulary.
