Media Innovation is an executive master program in English at Breda University. The program is in close cooperation with international partners. This program, which is especially designed for media industry professionals, provides its students with an in-depth knowledge of digital media processes and bridges the gap between theory and practice in media studies.
It is the first and only Accredited Master in Media Innovation in Netherlands.
The guiding principle of this programm is that successful media innovations are often not brand new, but they build on existing, recognisable elements. These elements, or codes, are the building blocks that can be found in any media product. In this master, Breda sheds light on these building blocks from different theoretical perspectives. And, once students understand the codes behind a media product, they can make new connections and arrive at new concepts that are innovative and future-oriented.
The program has a unique, multidisciplinary approach. It will train the students to acquire analytical skills, teach them to look beyond the surface of digital media and distinguish crucial digital processes. It will also teach them to transform analytical insights into the building blocks by means of which they can design tomorrow's media products. During this program, students will have to develop and deliver several concepts themselves.
