TTVO, School of Arts and Media in Tampere, Finland, offers the 'Interactive Media Programme' taught in English.
The program was organised for the first time during the autumn 2000. Participating exchange students came from Canada, Denmark, Germany, Spain and Sweden.
The 'Interactive Media Programme' provides advanced digital know-how and additional education in the field of new working methods in the media production. The goal of the program is to deepen the understanding of interactivity and improve the students’ abilities to use modern technologies in creating high quality media contents.
Here you find an excerpt of the classes I attended in autumn 2001 together with only 6 more students from Canada, Spain and Germany:
- DVD-Video/ DVD-ROM Workshop

That's the name of the university of applied sciences where I study 'media & computer science'
('Medieninformatik') at the department for digital media. It's located in the Black Forest (the place where all the
cuckoo-clocks come from...) in Germany.
