Specialisation in the masterclasses

Film & TV

The masterclass "Film & TV" is the only industry-relevant specialization in Austria with a decidedly technical focus on the creation and production of serial moving-image content for convergent evaluation in film, TV and on-line media.

Animation & Visual Effects

The masterclass "Animation & Visual Effects" offers a unique mix of theoretical knowledge combined with the implementation of challenging and creative practice projects for students in 2D- and 3D-animation, special effects and digital compositing.

3D Audio & Sound Design

With a unique combination of sound-related production and acoustic- information design, the masterclass "Audio Design" offers far-reaching professional perspectives between traditional digital audio production and industry-oriented research and development approaches.

• "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.
