MA in Media Design

Creating tomorrow’s connected experiences. MA in Media Design is pleased to announce that admissions 2023 are open. All information can be found on HEAD – Genève’s website.

The MA in Media Design offers a two-year professional programme based on learning about interactive design for scientific and social innovation. Whether you are a graphic or industrial designer, a general engineer or computer engineer, you will address the technological and societal challenges generated by artificial intelligence and new interfaces. 

The first year focuses on workshops, practical courses and work in the laboratory. You will learn to prototype interfaces, smart devices, video games and interactive experiences while broadening your understanding of the issues of user experiences. You will get to familiarise yourself with virtual reality, augmented and mixed reality, machine learning, creative programming and electronics. Some of the workshops take place in collaboration with professionals who will guide your work, and form the basis of your future professional integration network. Theoretical and introductory seminars to research methods complement this programme.

The second year is centred on your MA graduation project which includes a research paper and a practical project. Supervised by a tutor, you will carry out the project from its exploratory to production phase, while reflecting on its related exposure and communication. At the end of the programme you will master the practical, playful, critical as well as experimental aspects of the profession. You will thus be ready to consider career prospects in creative industries, research and entrepreneurship.
