We have designed courses that are flexible knowing that you as a researcher has a wildly variable workload. You shouldn’t have to plan your schedule around a course, instead you should be able to plan the course according to your schedule.
Your learning
We focus on giving you the tools to develop yourself and learning how to use these tools to achieve excellence. Our focus lies in allowing you to develop your own style and not imprinting a template on your mind. Design is a learned skill and we will teach you how to.
Speed
As a scientist and researcher you do not need the added time sink of irrelevant information. We have tailored the courses to provide you with the right amount of information and the correct information, this to ensure that you gain as much knowledge as possible in as little time as is necessary.
Quality
Signing up to the course does not automatically grant you the credits, you are expected to learn and be able to demonstrate it as well during the course. We will of course help you and guide you with the learning process.
Feedback
You will always gain constructive feedback and will not be left to wonder what went wrong. Instead of focusing on textual content, we do give you feedback based on the visual appearance. In addition to the feedback given by the tutors you will also gain feedback from PhD-students in various fields of study.
Accessible
You know the value of your own time as a researcher and constantly try to optimize it. With this in mind all course material is made accessible at any time that you wish. We offer you a streamlined learning experience in the way that you will not be burdened by extra administration tasks.
We have happy alumni from various places amongst them

What people are saying
I thought I would mostly learn technical aspects of design software but it was nice to get the theory/psychology/thinking process of reading a visual message. That way, I can place myself on the side of the observer & try to convey better my message.

I used to struggle making figures “professionally acceptable”, now it’s more about choosing the style.

You have fundamentally changed my understanding of the world and how I should communicate.

At first I thought I would have trouble with illustration but I really enjoyed it and liked how the development process were. I never ended up where I thought I would in the beginning. The results were so much better than I could have imagined in the beginning.

Overall the course has been very helpful and allowed me to think more in terms of illustration/graphical communication.

It was especially nice to see that even someone who is very good at using illustration software makes “little mistakes” requiring a lot of ctrl-z! This is motivating for someone like me, who has always gotten extremely frustrated with Illustrator.
