Overview

The Master of Arts in Creative Media Production at the NABA Milan campus explores how audiovisual media and new technologies can offer different ways of observing and representing reality. Taught in Italian or English, this two-year programme combines artistic experimentation with the methods and technical understanding needed to develop complex media projects.

Students investigate the physical and digital world through tools ranging from cameras and microphones to databases and sensors. The course brings traditional audiovisual production into dialogue with interactive formats, exploring the creative possibilities of coding, artificial intelligence and generative sound design.

The programme offers two specialisations:

• Documentary
• Interactive Media

Across the course, theoretical study supports practical experimentation, helping students understand which technologies and forms of expression best serve a creative idea. Key topics include:

• Creative writing and multimedia languages
• Documentary direction and linear audiovisual production
• Interactive systems and installations
• Generative artificial intelligence
• Digital tools for art
• Project culture and new media aesthetics

Students learn to develop proposals across different media and manage projects in which creative decisions and technical processes inform one another. The course also explores human–computer interaction and extended reality, broadening the possibilities for work that moves beyond a fixed sequence of images and sounds.

The programme prepares students for professional paths including:

• Technical and concept artist
• Creative coder
• Creative technologist
• Creative producer
• Interactive storyteller
• Virtual and mixed reality expert
• Film documentary director
• Scriptwriter
• AI artist

The course awards a Second Level Academic Degree in New Technologies for Arts and carries 120 CFA credits.
