The master program has the following goals:

  • To provide solid scientific training, essential to professional practice in the scientific fields of Communication Technologies, Visual Arts, Economy and Business Administration, Education Technology, and Musical Technology.
  • To provide solid professional training that enables the conception, project, and development of products, processes, and services based on Multimedia Technology, offering the possibility of four main specialization areas: Interactive Technologies and Digital Games, Arts and Culture, Education, Interactive Music, and Sound Design.
  • To promote the development of non-technical skills, such as the development of creative skills, teamwork, and leadership.
  • To promote the acquisition of an entrepreneurship attitude, risk evaluation, and creative opportunity recognition and exploitation.

This master programme also aims to develop skills in media, strengthening not only students’ acquired knowledge during their first-cycle of studies, but also the discussion of different knowledge between multidisciplinary teams, which are constituted in the course units and workshops. 

Taking part of a master programme with this configuration is the most adequate choice regarding the development of dissertations, specialization and research of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary projects, since the teaching staff is composed by professors of five faculties.

After finishing my degree in History at FLUP, I decided to expand my horizons and join the Masters in Multimedia at FEUP. I didn’t know very well what would happen after making this decision, but I knew that at FEUP I would be in good hands, not only because it is a renowned university at national and world level, but also because the Master in Multimedia offers a range of curricular units that will allow me to build my own path. Everything was confirmed when I was accepted and I became a student at this institution, where I immediately felt at home, supported by the great facilities and teachers, as well as access to the equipment I needed.

At FEUP and MM, I find myself living one of the most enriching experiences of my life, where I have contact with professors from the most varied fields (from Computer Engineering, Fine Arts and Economics), as well as students from other master’s, backgrounds and more varied nationalities, which allows me to be constantly learning and getting out of my comfort zone. Of the thousand advantages that MM brings, multidisciplinarity and the possibility of interacting and working with so many students and different teachers is what I emphasize most because it is the one that I feel has taught me the most.

I would advise anyone with a penchant for creativity, but also for technology and innovation in taking the Masters in Multimedia, because really the chance to build our own path, meet extraordinary people and mentors for life.

Studying arts my whole life I would never imagine going to study for FEUP, but my passion for arts and technology led me to make the Master in Multimedia. After having had contact with the job market, I realized that there is a lot of versatility and that’s what I found in the master’s degree, the options are vast and several disciplines to choose from, which proved to be an asset. The master’s degree also promotes team work, where elements from different professional areas and nationalities combine skills and allows a broader and more innovative knowledge.

It wasn’t always easy, I felt challenged and encouraged to do my best. However, there was always a great force for mutual help among the master’s community and I never felt alone. I feel that I learned a lot and gave me more confidence to carry out more ambitious and borderless projects. I highly recommend the master’s degree if you want to open your horizons in relation to multimedia and share the same passion for art and technology.

Regarding FEUP, it was undoubtedly one of the best colleges I studied. The college is beautiful and offers plenty of opportunities, activities and teaching excellence with innovation. The link with companies also helps us to know the job market and its needs. I am proud to study at FEUP and in the city of Porto.
