the multimedia arts track

The multimedia arts track aims to provide a structured foundation for those who want to work in the visual arts sector.

This track enables students to acquire theoretical and technical skills in the visual arts, multimedia and cinema.

At the end of the three-year programme, students can work as collaborators in the production or organisation of artistic and cultural activities or else continue their studies by attending master's degree courses or postgraduate specialisation programmes in Italy or abroad.

The theoretical courses provide the tools for understanding and assessing contemporary cultural industry productions.

The workshops, taught by renowned Italian and international professionals and artists, aim at creating personal or collective works, thus shaping graduates who can combine knowledge and know-how, both as individuals and as part of a team.

Each workshop has dedicated locations for its entire duration, and supporting labs (photography, multimedia and modelling) are also available to develop the students' projects.
