Cultural Heritage, Archiving, Experience Design, Media Arts Theory, New
Media Aesthetics, Curating & Arts Management, or Media Arts Futures. The

Media Arts Cultures is a mobility program, enabling students to study
across Europe and in Asia. During the two-year program, each student
will spend three semesters in at least three universities, and choose
among the EU partners for the final semester. After completing the
program, students will receive a joint master degree in Media Arts
Cultures from the universities they have attended. The program is 120
ECTS and allows graduates to further pursue a PhD within Europe or other
international higher education regions.
More than 13 of the best EU and non-EU candidates will be offered
Erasmus+ fully-funded scholarships for the duration of the program. As
an internationally recognized Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree,
students accepted into the MediaAC program without Erasmus+ scholarships
will have increased chances of securing funding from external-funding
sources.
