Media graphics
You can look forward to that.
As a media graphic designer, you work with visual communication — from idea and layout to finished printed or digital solutions. You learn to develop design, adapt expression, work with target groups and use professional programs to make a visual expression work. The subject combines structure, aesthetics and technical understanding, and you learn to translate requirements and needs into graphic material that can be used in practice.

How the training takes place
The education starts at Techcollege, where you are introduced to graphic design, layout, typography, colors, workflow and digital tools. You learn to work systematically and understand the entire process from assignment to finished product – regardless of whether it is for print or digital use.
You will then be trained in a place where graphic production, communication or marketing is worked on. Here you will become part of everyday life and will be given tasks as you become ready for them. You will work with everything from layout and image work to digital formats, printed matter and visual solutions.
Everyday life in learning
In the apprenticeship, you work on specific tasks that will be used by clients or colleagues. You develop layouts, solve graphic problems, adapt materials for different media and learn to use programs such as Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator safely and professionally.
Your tasks depend on the workplace — in some places you work mostly with print, in others with digital design, graphic production or visual campaigns.

To start the main course, you must have an apprenticeship - also called a training agreement.
An apprenticeship means that you are employed as a student in a company and enter into an agreement about your education. This is where you learn the subject in practice and become part of a workplace.
You can apply for an apprenticeship with companies yourself, and the school will guide and support you in the process of applying and contacting companies.
If you do not find an apprenticeship immediately, you have the opportunity to receive school training if the education is offered with school training.
School-based training means that you complete the practical part of the education at school instead of in a company. Here you work with the same professional goals and competencies that you would otherwise learn in an apprenticeship.
This means that you can continue your education even if you do not have an apprenticeship from the start.
A vocational education is divided into two parts: basic course and main course .
The basic course
The basic course is the first part of the education and takes place at school.
If you come directly from 9th or 10th grade, you start with Basic Course 1. Here you spend the first half of the year being introduced to the educational field and learning the basic subjects and working methods.
If you do not come directly from primary school – or if you already have an apprenticeship – you start with Basic Course 2. Here you work purposefully with the education you have chosen and get ready for the internship and main course.
The main course
The main course is the part of the education where you alternate between school and internship in a company.
This means that you both receive instruction at school and learn the subject in practice at a workplace.
To start the main course, you must have an apprenticeship (a training agreement) with a company.
The Media Graphics program has limited access .
This means:
There is a fixed number of seats.
Not all applicants can be admitted.
Admission is via quota.
When you apply, you will be assessed as part of the quota intake.

If you apply for Basic Course 2, you will need to attend an interview before you can be admitted.
