The main professional outlets are in the fields of digital communication and marketing, content creation and management, and the design of interactive digital systems.
The objectives of the course are to provide a high mastery of general scientific methods and content as well as specific technical-professional knowledge to play highly responsible roles in research, development, and management of complex user-oriented communication systems and supporting technologies.
The didactic activity has a relevant project orientation: several teachings have a laboratory approach, in which students of different training cooperate in working groups for the realization of projects with a strong multidisciplinary character.
The Masters Degree is aimed at students with degrees in different disciplines as long as they have the basics in at least one of the three primary areas: psychology, computer science and design. Students will be able to build a personalized training course according to their specific interests and knowledge, but without the imposition of any rigid constraint regarding the degree of origin. The educational offer includes courses belonging to the field of human, legal and economic-social sciences and information science and technology.
