All things in print

Stu­dents learn the fin­is­hing and layout techniques for printed mater­ials, both using compu­ter­ized book­binding machinery and by hand. They also learn to repair books and cut out various printed products, such as bus­iness cards, brochures, calendars and packaging. Book­binders give professi­onal advice reg­ar­ding the fin­is­hing of printed products and choice of mater­ials for book­binding. They select the right type of paper for each job and handle the fin­is­hing of all printed products.

Creative design and technology

Stu­dents learn to design and compile material for print and screen media with emp­hasis on print­making, graphic design, multi­media and digital editing.

Stu­dents learn to use software for picture processing, layout and web. Graphic media designers control the setup of material for publis­hing as well as hand­ling layout, look, sketching, concept work, copyw­riting, picture editing and print­making.

Stu­dents learn about graphic design and the presentation of material for print and multi­media, screen and Internet. Emp­hasis is placed on print­making, typography, graphic design, multi­media and digital set up/​composition of pict­ures and colour (control/​editing?)

The study programme is progressive and uses the latest technology to present and comm­unicate information.

After fin­is­hing the three semesters of preparatory studies stu­dents choose between four specialties: graphic media design, book­binding, printing or photography that are all certified trades.

Capture the perfect moment

The study programme in photography ref­lects the dem­ands for know­led­geable and skilled professi­onals in the field.

Stu­dents learn to apply their know­ledge and skills when working independ­ently. Photograp­hers need insight into the complex technical asp­ects of this rapidly evolving field, from the setup of photo shoots to the post production of photographs and printing and fin­is­hing of the final product.

Printing is a diverse discipline and stu­dents in our programme learn to process orig­inals from print plates, print blocks and digital, set up the paper for the printing machinery, and adjust colour sett­ings and fin­is­hing of the final product. Stu­dents also learn to handle quality control and the day to day operation of printing machinery.

The programme teaches dif­f­erent printing met­hods, such as offset printing, digital printing, relief printing and flexography. A printer is responsible for deciding which printing method to use and works closely with other professi­onals in the field.

Programing, web development, interface development, database management and systems administration/ network administration.

The courses available in the computer study programme cover a wide range of computer related fields, such as programing, software develop­ment, systems adm­in­istration/ network adm­in­istration, web develop­ment, interface develop­ment, data­base mana­gement, mechat­ronics and game develop­ment.

The teaching is project oriented and gives stu­dents the chance to work on real life proj­ects. Each semester ends with a multi-disciplinary practical group project. Stu­dents graduating from the computer study programme are well prepared for uni­versity studies as well as being sought after in the job market.
