The master's in Interactive Digital Media combines the arts with emerging technologies, promoting this fusion in scientific, artistic, and professional contexts. The course follows a practice-based research philosophy, supported by ESMAD's unique resources. It has two complementary profiles/pathways that translate into optional subjects: one oriented towards the production of interactive media and the other related to web development. Master's students develop knowledge and practical skills in various fields, including Virtual and Augmented Reality, Web Development, UI/UX Design, Performative and Interactive Animation, Motion Design, Video Mapping, Physical Computing, Generative and Immersive Design, and Digital Games. The course prioritises partnerships with external entities, particularly technology companies and creative industries.
