Media Arts Cultures is a 2-year mobility program, enabling students to study across Europe and in Asia. Students spend three semesters at different universities, complete an internship at a Consortium Associated Partner, and write a Master Thesis at the best-suited partner during the final semester. Upon completion, students receive a 120 ECTS joint master degree in Media Arts Cultures from three universities. Graduates may further pursue a PhD within Europe or other international higher education regions as well as choose to enter the world of work in the Creative and Cultural Sector.

The joint Master of Arts MediaAC aims to generate a better understanding of the image revolution. It addresses the needs of the evolving fields related to the futures and histories of Media Art Cultures. MediaAC provides education and training for future specialists in Media Arts Cultures and prepare them for emerging careers in the creative and cultural sectors, research and academia.

Selected topics like Media Cultural Histories, Digital Heritage, Archiving, Experience Design, Media Arts Theory, New Media Aesthetics, Infrastructures of Digital Cultures, Long Time Preservation, Curating & Arts Management, Data Studies & Visualization, or Media Arts Futures provide students both internationally-advanced theoretical as well as practical knowledge in the Media Arts, through a singular combination of pedagogical foci, trans-disciplinary approaches, and critical thinking in connection to the needs of both academic and non-academic stakeholders.
