Program description
You have instantaneous access to an ocean of data! Learning Media Design is the first step toward making your digital ideas a reality. By learning the ins and outs of graphic design and communication, you'll be able to develop your own original ideas and proposals with complete freedom.
You will learn and perfect the abilities necessary to build websites, applications, and digital platforms, including programming for User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI), and generative visuals.
The four-year curriculum will teach you how to employ technologies like virtual reality and augmented reality in visual communication and the creation of interactive goods, as well as the ins and outs of a wide range of media formats and programming languages. The programme is built on a project-based learning approach, with students presenting their final work in partnership with real businesses.

About the university
Since 1966, we have been the largest Higher Education Network in the creative area to keep both a worldwide perspective and a strongly Italian cultural matrix.
Our educational strategy has evolved over time, but at its core remains the same: we mix theoretical study with hands-on experience and the expertise of working experts. One of the things we emphasize in our classes is always thinking ahead, in the here and now. We are a diverse, multidisciplinary institution that views design as a tool for social transformation.
Among the many international academic networks in which we participate are Cumulus, Elia, and WDO, just to name a few.
Campuses
In the 1970s and 1980s, we expanded to Rome (1973), Cagliari (1984), and Turin (1989) in Italy.
Beginning in 1994 with the Madrid campus and continuing on to Barcelona in 2002, Spain's modern era began in the 1990s.
The Group also spread internationally, establishing a presence in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2005, and then in Venice, Italy, in 2007, Florence, Italy, in 2009, and Como, Italy, in 2009, with the acquisition of the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts. The Group expanded its footprint in Brazil in 2014 by renovating the Cassino da Urca and opening a campus in Rio de Janeiro; in 2020, the Group will expand its presence in Spain by purchasing the Centro Superior de Diseo Kunsthal in Bilbao.
