Education in media and information technology

Education in media and information technology

Teachers from Media and information technology teach on several educational programmes at various levels. In addition, many students do their diploma works under our supervision, often in collaboration with companies. We also offer graduate education, where we provide courses in our research areas.

Study programmes

The two main programmes where teachers from Media and information technology teach are the master of science in Media technology, AI and engineering programme and the bachelor's programme in Graphic design and communication. Contact person for the undergraduate education is the director of studies Camilla Forsell.

Master of Science in Media Technology, AI and Engineering, 300 credits

The education programme concerns the technology behind media and transforming information flows to match our sensory capacities. Out former students now work with anything from special effects in Hollywood movies to virtual furniture for IKEA to game development. For information, see pages in Swedish.

Bachelor's Programme in Graphic Design and Communication, 180 credits

This is the education for you if you want to be a creative and technically skilled designer and communicator with the competencies required by a rapidly changing and global media and communications field. For information, see pages in Swedish.

Design, Master's Programme, 120 credits

Offers a studio-based, interdisciplinary approach to design, with collaborations tackling societal challenges. We invite students with various academic backgrounds, from design, engineering, fine arts, behavioral sciences, and social sciences.

Graduate education

Media and information technology offers graduate education in the form of graduate courses in scientific visualization, information visualization, computer graphics, media design, image reproduction and visual learning. Graduate students are accepted on one of three curricula: Visualization and media technology, Science and engineering education, and Design. Contact persons for the graduate education are the two heads of research education Jonas Löwgren and Niklas Rönnberg.

Doctoral Programme in Science and Technology Education

The doctoral programme gives students advanced knowledge and skills in the didactics of technology and natural sciences in order to make them independent reseachers in the field of the didactics of technology and/or natural sciences.
