study across Europe and in Asia. Students spend three semesters at
different universities, complete an internship at a Consortium
Associated Partner, and write a Master Thesis at the best-suited
partner
during the final semester. Upon completion, students receive a 120
ECTS
joint master degree in Media Arts Cultures from three universities.
Graduates may further pursue a PhD within Europe or other
international
higher education regions as well as choose to enter the world of work
in
the Creative and Cultural Sector.

Securing your early acceptance to the program enables applicants to
submit materials to the various scholarship opportunities: 
External-funding scholarships, Erasmus+ fully-funded scholarships, and
MediaAC Consortium scholarships with Erasmus+ mobility bursaries. 

The MediaAC Consortium invites dedicated and energetic applicants from
all countries and all relevant fields of study and experience to
apply.

MediaAC is one of the few culture-centered Erasmus Mundus programs,
and
the only program connecting culture to the media arts. Digital media
art
plays a major role at international festivals and in contemporary
culture. But, in part due to the obsolescence of presentation
equipment
and storage formats, media art has not yet fully arrived in archives
and
museums. The collection, exhibition and conservation strategies of
digital art, as well as their mediation, are necessary for the
modernization of the Creative and Cultural Sector.

The joint Master of Arts MediaAC aims to generate a better
understanding of the image revolution. It addresses the needs of the
evolving fields related to the futures and histories of Media Art
Cultures. MediaAC provides education and training for future
specialists
in Media Arts Cultures and prepare them for emerging careers in the
creative and cultural sectors, research and academia. 

Selected topics like Media Cultural Histories, Digital Heritage,
Archiving, Experience Design, Media Arts Theory, New Media Aesthetics,
Infrastructures of Digital Cultures, Long Time Preservation, Curating
&
Arts Management, Data Studies & Visualization, or Media Arts Futures
provide students both internationally-advanced theoretical as well as
practical knowledge in the Media Arts, through a singular combination
of
pedagogical foci, trans-disciplinary approaches, and critical thinking
in connection to the needs of both academic and non-academic
stakeholders.
