Students in their 4th year of study in the Bachelor’s degree program in Audiovisual Communication at Mondragon University presented their End-of-Degree Projects (EDPs) publicly to their professors, Faculty and company mentors, and fellow students.

This year marked the 12th annual Kimu Berri competition. For the second consecutive year, the event took place in the IdeiEnea building on the Aretxabaleta campus.

The jury for this year’s Kimu Berri competition consisted of three people: Iban Garate Garmendia, member of the Communication team of the MONDRAGON Corporation; Idurre Albizu, Head of Business Development and Communication at the Garaia Technology Park; and Igor Ellakuria, Head of Research and Development for the ISEA Group.

The students gave brief, attractive and direct presentations of their projects. When selecting the winners, the members of the jury took into account the clarity of the presentation, its ability to spark interest, the attractiveness and originality of the presentation, linguistic correctness and, finally, the appropriateness of resources and time management. Now that these public presentations have been made, the students will complete the academic defense of their EDPs in the coming days.

This academic year, Audiovisual Communication students completed 19 EDPs, all in collaboration with companies and institutions. Students in the dual track carried out these projects individually, while the rest did them in groups of two or three.

In the 2025-2026 academic year, students completed their EDPs with the following entities: the Alkiza City Council, the Arizmendi School, Arteman Communication, Biba Ardoak, the Debagoiena Commonwealth, DOKA, Eusko Ikaskuntza, the Fagor Group, Goiena, Hamaika Telebista, IDEKO, IFAM Security, Juneren Hegoak, Lurkoi, MERTX, the Mondragon Higher Polytechnic School, Tacticco, Villa Salia and Zazpi Kaleak.
