In this interdisciplinary MA, creativity meets new media and sustainability, empowering students to lead transformative change at the intersection of culture, technology and climate justice.

This programme offers an up-front approach to contemporary challenges where art, design and technology converge to address and communicate powerful messages on global issues. These range from the climate crisis and energy transition to geopolitics and the inclusion of social minorities.

The course enables designers and artists to develop interdisciplinary projects that combine rigorous artistic and design practice with advanced technological and theoretical applications.

Through three thematic studios – natures-cultures, critical environments and techno-human expressions – students will explore new dimensions of artistic and design creation using traditional media as well as emerging technologies.

The method of teaching integrates creative practice with a solid theoretical foundation, stimulating critical discourse and innovative solutions.

Graduates will be well-prepared to pursue careers in diverse and interdisciplinary fields, leveraging their advanced skills in design, art and creative technologies.

They will be equipped to work in areas such as multimedia and visual arts, art and design curation and art direction as well as in the management of cultural and creative projects.
