Master description

The curriculum consists of 60 ECTS and is structured into a common part made up of 6 compulsory subjects (36 ECTS) and an optional part (12 ECTS) linked to the specialization tracks in Visual Creation or Project Culture. Students may also choose a path without a specific specialization. In addition, the program includes the Master’s Final Project (12 ECTS).
Specializations are configured through the selection of two optional subjects in the second semester. Passing both subjects from the same track allows the student to obtain the corresponding specialization. If subjects from both tracks are combined, the master’s degree is completed without a specific specialization.
The optional subjects take the form of seminars and research workshops oriented toward practice, with high interaction with guest professionals, to promote the situated application of knowledge and methodologies to the Master’s Final Project.
