Partner University in Sweden: Linköping
IMI has an exchange program with the Swedish University of Linköping’s VITA department (Visual Information Technology Applications). Four IMIs have studied there a semester, and a professor of Computer Graphics from Linköping has been in Berlin many times. Prof. Weber-Wulff was up teaching for a few days in March in the middle of a very snowy winter. The campus in Norrköping is in an old industrial building right on the water – just like Oberschöneweide!
The students study in half-semesters. They have two courses á 6 credits each half-semester and one course á 6 credits that goes over the entire semester. They have a Bachelor’s program in Media and Communication Engineering and Master’s programs in Advanced Computer Graphics (which is taught in English) and Media Technology and Engineering. They do a lot of work with 3D and are in the process of completing a dome for 3D exploration. Prof. Weber-Wulff was given a 3D tour of the building and then taken to the edges of outer space – pretty wild!
