UMN’s Visual Communication Design study program has two specializations that can be chosen by students known as Visual Brand Design and Interaction Design.

Through Visual Brand Design, students will review more deeply about the application of art and design in displaying a brand visually in various forms and media and therefore students are expected to be able to design a brand identity and understand how it can be visually communicated in public by continually looking at the development of industries

Whereas through Interaction Design, students will pick up more about interaction design which includes designing an interactivity through visual design such as designing games, websites, board games or even interactive books. Students are expected to be able to design interactivity through various 2D and 3D media both digitally and conventionally. That way they not only design the visuals but also think about the technical planning of interactivity that will be carried out.

Graduates of the UMN Visual Communication Design study program can take a Master’s Degree in art and design.

Prepare students to become designing graduates who are able to construct a work or product based on their deep understanding of designing in the form of visual communication with an entrepreneurial mindset and international vision. Students are expected to be able to provide solutions to solving visual communication problems by upholding their professional work ethics and other noble values.

DKV graduates are expected to become designing graduates who have the ability to create a result in both traditional and digital ways based on a deep understanding of design in the form of visual communication that is entrepreneurial and has an international outlook that can contribute to solving visual communication problems in society.

UMN’s architecture students will learn about the theory, practices and methods of designing during the their learning process in DKV courses. In general, the UMN’s DKV’s curriculum can be explained as follows:

UMN’s DKV has worked closely with the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) in making learning modules for childcare. In collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture, UMN’s DKV involved seventeen students in the process of designing and designing the educational module.

Once they have accomplished this, they collaborate with PT Samafitro through a consent visit to the company to provide direct experience to students about the development of the printing world in our postmodern society. In addition to this, UMN’s DKV has also been involved as a member of the Association of Visual Communication Design Study Programs (Asprodi DKV) to participate in advancing education in the field of visual communication design.
