Hey Jeroen,

Yep, ur right, that'd be me

what they teach?

well, to be honest, not much...
Their focus lies on the state of mind they call 'design thinking'
That's the main thing they teach you. And methods that can help you with it.

There are a number of various courses: interaction design (mostly physical applications), game design and development (creating gameplay, narrative, and programming) and game art (mostly modeling and concept art)

Yes, we have some theoretical classes. But not really useful ones for me though. The theory classes are more focussed on skills you might need, such as programming and modelling.

We are taught by completing projects. We are given an assignment like 'make a game that teaches a high-school student about drugs'. And we have to deliver a prototype with 6 to 8 weeks. 
We don't get commissions, at least, not until year 3 I think, not really sure...
