Program description
Our society is becoming more mobile, and thanks to digital media, concepts like "space" and "distance" are undergoing a fundamental transformation.
Today, an entire industry focuses on communicating and producing information, brands, and experiences in media spaces.
UE teaches you how to make virtual and physical communication inspiring and lasting.
In New Media Design (formerly Media Spaces), you'll learn to analyze spatial, moving, and non-linear forms of expression and apply them to your own spatial concepts. You'll have the media skills to develop complex and advanced design and technological solutions for multidisciplinary challenges as a graduate.
