There is possible regular access to mentoring for video & sound & other skills with teachers. Not only for ongoing classes, but also for outside the course. Please make a direct request at the teacher or ask Marcial (marcial.koch@zhdk.ch) for help.

Campus points

Students can work in a variety of workshops, and projects that IAD takes part in, usually during the semester breaks (February and Summer) or as side projects during studies.
For these involvements, students get campus points.

A maximum of 6 ECTS points can be counted.
