Førebuingar/praktiske tips
To exchange in the Master Media Design program in HEAD is suitable for students with different backgrouds, as practical design skills for progamming, VR, 3D modeling and animation are introduced in the courses. However, as this is a very intensive program, prior knowledge and skills in these areas are highly recommended. The courses I had this semester involve these software: Cinema 4D, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Unreal Engine, Unity, Visual Studio Code.
Undervisningsformer
For the first year Master's students, there were workshops that last 1 or 2 weeks as well as courses that lasts 3 or more weeks. They were all project oriented so we have a design project as an output during each workshop/course. Both were instructed and monitored by professors from the school or industry, combing concept developing and practical techniques.
Vurdering av emnetilbodet
The courses are very useful as they provided basic knowledge about different media design fields, like coding, 3D modeling and animation, VR, machine learning and AI. But it was not possible to go deeper into one field due to the time limit.
Fagleg utbyte og språk
The courses for Master's programs in HEAD are in English.
It's not recommended to exchange in a Bachelor's level in HEAD if you don't speak French, as there is possible difficulties in understanding the lectures.
Universitetsområdet og byen
The university buildings are located in different places in Geneva. They are accessible easily by public transports.
Bustad
It was not very easy to find an accommodation in Geneva since I only stay for half a year.
Here are some useful websites.

Sosialt miljø
Most students in my class speak French. But they were friendly and kind so there were possibilities to join the community's social life. There were a few international students who don't speak French as well, but it is the case only in Master's level.
