Overview

The Media Arts and Creative Technologies programme at RISEBA University promotes the development of original and independent research that is embedded in an international cultural, economic, social and political context, applying the latest technologies to its creative research and creating professional connections with business and the creative industries.

Career opportunities

Upon completion of their doctoral studies, students become professional media artists, academic researchers and socially active citizens who have received an innovative and high-quality media arts education and who are also able to compete in the labour market, as they have the necessary specific knowledge and skills in working with different creative technologies, as well as management and marketing knowledge.

The obtained academic degree is a prerequisite not only for a successful individual career in the art, media, innovation technology and creative industries, but also for an academic career in higher education institutions and in international level research. Graduates of the new programme will be well prepared to participate in the shaping of contemporary culture in its broadest sense, working in local, national, European Union and international organisations as experts, consultants, recommenders, and project evaluators, as well as initiators of various innovations in these organisations.
