Media studies

Volda University College has, since 1971, trained professionals for the Norwegian media industry. The university college offers perhaps the best-known professional training in Norway today. VUC has a robust academic environment for media production and media design, as well as the newest media building in the country, opening in August 2021. Many of our teachers have extensive background from the industry, which coupled with the modern playground soon to open, will offer you hands-on, exciting, professional media experience.

Several courses are inter-disciplinary, mixing knowledge in film, animation, journalism, graphic design, web design and PR strategies. This creates an interesting portfolio of courses.

From concept to post-production

At Volda University College, you can learn about the whole media production process, from concept development to post-production. You can work with video production in several genres, focusing on both technique, dramaturgy and content production for different platforms. You can also specialize in visual expression through graphic design, photography and web design, with courses that emphasize both technique and content-understanding on digital platforms.

Media history

As a visiting student you can also study the media’s role and importance in conflicts in the recent past and gain a basic knowledge of film history, with examples from animation, documentary and fiction.
