Programme Structure

Specialisations:

  • Innovation

Innovation in the creative media industry is a hot topic in many countries. Up until now, however, there is a persistent gap. 

  • Focus

The guiding principle of this programme is that successful media innovations are often not brand new, but rather, they build on existing, recognisable elements.

  • Theory as a design tool

Next to the delivery of top class post-graduates, the purpose of this executive master’s programme Media Innovation is to give media professionals the ability to ‘bring something new into use’. In their final project, students will develop, prototype and (pre-)produce media innovations.
