The rise of digital technology has directly impacted the creative economy. For that reason, the sector needs professionals with “createch” skills who can easily combine creative and technical competence in order to solve real-world problems.
Our Master in Creative Computing aims to provide a general-purpose education in using new technologies for creative endeavors. It reflects an ever-changing media landscape, where this year ‘s media might be discarded in the next year.
The main goal of this creative computing master, however, is not to teach specific skills, but to learn to identify opportunities for creativity in the technological space. By completing the master, you can become a professional who proposes creative configurations for new and old platforms, reinvent careers in companies which need innovative products, find your artistic path, or even become autonomous, inventive, high-tech entrepreneur.

In addition to the specific contents of the Master in Creative Computing, you will enjoy a series of advantages designed to enhance your learning and connect with the creative community:
Book that offers valuable insights, visualizations, and practical solutions for digital challenges, enhancing your reading experience with augmented reality, enabling indepth exploration through scanning capabilities.
Symbiosis is an interactive installation that explores the concept of co-creation between humans and machines through a motion-responsive and dynamically adaptive video projection.
Through the use of Arduino, sensors and generative design, this prototype translates plant signals into dynamic visual projections and interactive responses, fostering a deeper connection and empathy with the natural world.
Our Master in Creative Computing doesn't have one specific target audience in specific but it is mostly directed to students and professionals that want to improve their skills and learn the new paths that this subject is taking nowadays.
Upon completion of the master's in Creative Computing degree you will be prepared to work as:
“I learned to experiment with different technologies and to develop concepts into practical projects, which is especially useful in my work.”
