Programme structure
In the first year, students can fully immerse themselves in design, technology, philosophy and media theory courses, and learn practical skills in computer programming, film editing, materiality, photography, and sound recording.
During the second and final year, students’ workload is devoted to writing a thesis and to a (public) exhibition of their work based more independently on their research and learning from Year One.
The key objective of the Master Non Linear Narrative programme is to educate critical thinkers, who master new technologies and media in order to convey meaningful narratives addressing the world’s social, political, economic, and environmental challenges.
