Master of Arts (M.A.)

About the Program

In the Master's Programme Digital Narratives, media and creative professionals gain the necessary theoretical and practical skills to critically engage with digital media, experiment with different formats, and create and produce their own digital narrative projects. Throughout 4 semesters, they are supported by expert faculty, production resources, and technical equipment in the development of their own artistic and academic practice. With a special focus on immersive technologies, interactive storytelling, and the impact of AI in media production, the programme trains creative storytellers to master the narrative formats and production techniques of emerging digital media to successfully develop innovative media formats. Key areas include conceptualisation, dramaturgy, design, and production of digital narrative projects, work with emerging technologies (XR, AI, interactive media, immersive narratives), creative development and agile production methods, and critical analysis around the ethical, economic, social equity, gender and diversity, and ecological ramifications of digitisation.
