MA Visual Communication: Graphic Design is an intensive contemporary programme that combines creative and professional development, experience within a nurturing, experimental, interdisciplinary, studio-based environment. The course is focused on the development of imaginative and conceptually distinctive visual practices, in which qualities of invention and discovery are underpinned by rigorous specialist expertise, preparing students to achieve a broad range of creative ambitions.  

MA Graphic Design encourages designers to explore ways of developing understanding between co-communicators. This course approaches all forms of graphic design as triggers for thinking and feeling. By interrogating your practice at the cognitive level, you’ll explore how such things as a metaphor, and the framing and blending of ideas, drive communication. Through self-initiated research and experimentation, you’ll be encouraged to engage with the world, and find insights that generate understanding and guide positive action.

The School of Digital Arts (SODA) Masters in Games Art aims to extend your existing knowledge and skills by exploring game art in a range of academic contexts. The course synthesises industry-standard tools, techniques and processes with emerging technologies and disruptive research.

Creative technologies are transforming the way we engage with the world, and extended realities (XR) - such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) -are at the forefront of this change, increasingly shaping industries like arts, entertainment, gaming, architecture, and education.

At the heart of your experience with us in Visual Communication is the shared commitment to ‘conversational practice’. By this, we mean a practical and discursive approach to making. We see communication as essentially, a conversation to form bridges, connect people and exchange ideas.

Our MA in Generative Design & AI at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) offers you the chance to master the latest AI tools and generative design techniques to create groundbreaking visual content and digital products. In this pioneering programme, you'll dive into advanced generative AI platforms like Midjourney and DALL-E, learning to use these tools to develop innovative designs across various industries.

Our interdisciplinary 18-month MA Game Design course—is a dynamic and immersive programme tailored to elevate your expertise in the rapidly evolving world of interactive entertainment. Through advanced study, we aim to sharpen your research skills, cultivate a robust visual communication language, and empower you to specialise in the exciting field of game design.

Digital Graphics is concerned with virtual spaces and interactive environments. These are understood as the spaces of experience and may include combinations of the real and virtual, the spaces of publication, time-based media and the internet. Interaction within spaces can operate at differing scales and levels of material intervention.

The MA Degree Program in Computer Animation and Visual Effects at RUFA is an artistic specialization course designed to train designers in digital animation and visual effects for film, television, audiovisual productions, and the web to blend digital technology, manual reproduction, cultural know-how, and creative capacity.

The MA in Interaction Design is a one-year full-time master's taught in NCAD. The course teaches fundamental approaches, methods and tools related to the design of digital products, experiences, systems and services, focusing on users and the context of use. The MA is studio-based with students engaging in lectures, seminars, workshops, fieldwork and independent and group projects. The studio environment is an essential component, fostering collaborative and peer-to-peer learning. The programme focuses on the interdisciplinary nature of Interaction Design, covering topics ranging from human-computer interaction and psychology to product design and experience prototyping.

The Master of Arts (MA) in Graphic Design at the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) is a two-year, English language program intended to develop a student’s independent practice and define their position as a graphic designer.

Official Master's degree accredited by the Italian Ministry of Universities & Research. The Master of Arts in Graphic Design foresees a very high level of specialization in the various expressive techniques of graphic design and visual communications, involving collaboration with creative, commercial and cultural industries.

Animated films, digital effects and computer games are increasingly permeating our lives. They accompany us not only in our free time, but also at school and in the world of work. How these media will be designed in the future in terms of design, narration and interaction is of crucial importance. In addition to career paths in the games and film industry, a wide range of other fields of activity are opening up, including in connection with the creation of educational games and virtual worlds.

This MA Media in Development program challenges the assumptions behind the media and development industries and development studies and offers new ways of thinking about the critical issues facing societies today such as climate change. Our research in film and media has been ranked in the top 20 in the UK in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021, with more than a third of our research publications assessed as 4* (world-leading). 

Media performers, artists and designers doing strange and unexpected things with technology: that is what the MADtech study programme is about. You are invited to employ and explore hybrid technologies in order to imagine, interpret and change human interaction within a transforming world.
