Specialisation in the masterclasses

Experimental Media

For media technicians and artists, the masterclass Experimental Media teaches "experiment" and "technology", immersing students in digital technology applications for art, architecture and design in a world of creative work processes. 

Graphic Design

The masterclass Graphic Design is the only graphic-design education in Austria especially for technicians and students interested in the technology of classic and new media environments. Acquire not only theoretical knowledge but learn to technically implement it as well. 

Photography

The focus of this master class is on the challenges that photography faces in times of digital and social media. The project work teaches you to combine creative rules with state-of-the-art (media) technology expertise.

• "Research" in this context means being involved in research, development and innovation.
• "Doing" addresses those professional aspects in which one's competencies are exercised when commissioned by others, e.g. in an employment relationship.
• "Founding" refers to the founding of your own company with independent, innovative ideas, services or problem-solving approaches.
