Master in Digital Arts and Design

Program Description

The program "Digital Arts and Design" is one of the most innovative areas of studying in the master's degree. Every year digital technologies penetrate deeper into all spheres of human life. Arts is no exception. An important difference in this area of arts is that digital artists and designers are usually involved in activities related to high technologies and, as a result, are at the forefront of the development of science and technology.

The advantage of this educational program is a broader approach to the role and process of formation of not only interiors and exteriors environment, but also urban events, festivals, exhibitions, etc. The Graduate can be firmly confident that he can objectively assess the level of the subject-spatial and digital environment and give methodological recommendations that can significantly improve it, as well as directly implement the project.

Disciplines aimed at the study of information technologies, creative programming and modern digital equipment allow you to penetrate into the process of creating a digital artifact and to create works of digital art with a full understanding of the possibilities of the technology of their creation.

The educational process in the master's degree is built so that undergraduates will deepen their knowledge and skills in information and communication, organizational and management activities. This is facilitated by familiarity with the activities of design firms and studios where undergraduates are involved in innovative work.

Program Goal

During the training master's undergraduates will expand their knowledge in the field of artistic, creative and project work in the field of design and digital arts. In addition, they continue to study academic drawing and painting and often create real creative works, so in the learning process, they actively participate in various art exhibitions and competitions.

Career Opportunities

The combination of design and digital arts allows graduates to carry out successful practical design and creative art activities based on the understanding and competent use of digital technologies.

Designer and digital artist are a professional in the transformation of subject-spatial, artistic and digital environment:

he studies the regularities of the formation of the subject-spatial environment and predicts its development;

• creates interior design projects with object content and digital equipment;
• organizes actions and events of various levels – from city festival to the exhibition of digital arts;
• creates artifacts of digital arts;
• provides consultations in the organization of the subject-spatial and digital environment of different types;
• teaches the principles of formation of a comfortable environment of different types and kinds;
• makes an expert assessment of the completed projects and the transformations of the subject-spatial and digital environment.
