BSc Life Science and Technology promo video

The brief
The Bachelor’s programme in Life Science and Technology is constantly evolving. For this project, we created a promotional video that gives prospective students a clear and current picture of the programme and of the paths it can lead to after graduation.

Behind the scenes
The main task here was clarity. A study programme like this needs to feel accessible without losing depth, so the video had to explain the content in a way that feels easy to follow and still academically credible. The result was a piece that balances information with a more inviting, student-facing tone.

Why this one stood out
What makes these projects valuable is that they sit somewhere between information and recruitment. The video has to answer practical questions, but it also has to help future students imagine themselves in the programme. Getting that balance right is what makes it work.

The Lightboard: making blended learning more engaging at TU Delft

At TU Delft, blended learning combines the flexibility of online teaching with the impact of face-to-face interaction. One tool making this possible is the Lightboard—a transparent glass board that lets educators write while facing the camera. Unlike traditional slides, it shows both the lecturer’s explanations and their expressions, making learning more engaging and personal. From flipped classrooms to problem-solving videos, the Lightboard helps teachers share not just answers, but the thinking process behind them—turning lessons into stories that connect with students.

Blended Learning Animations – Who Is the Engineer of the Future?

How do students discover who they want to become? At TU Delft, the Mechanical Engineering faculty paired with the New Media Centre’s Graphics team to address that question through animated storytelling. By developing eight distinct “Engineer of the Future” personas—each with its own narrative, style, and personality—students could see relatable career paths. Hand-drawn illustrations and concise two-minute videos translated complex concepts into engaging scripts, creating a compelling blended learning experience that inspires and informs.
