The Master’s Degree Course in Media and Cultural Industries (LM-59) at Link Campus University, Rome is an advanced training course, designed to train highly qualified professionals in the media sector, digital communication and creative and cultural industries. This course is characterized by a highly interdisciplinary approach with a focus on technological innovation, as well as by a strong connection to the labour market.
The aim of the course is to develop strategic, critical and operational skills, capable of responding to the needs of a constantly evolving market, where the convergence between traditional and digital media requires new, flexible, creative and specialised professionals.
MODALITY OF FRUITION
The course provides for non-compulsory attendance of lessons. Furthermore, in order to meet the diverse needs of students, the lessons are video-recorded and made available on digital platforms in asynchronous mode. This additional opportunity allows students to organize their study and revision times independently. Theoretical teaching is complemented by practical and professionalizing activities: workshops, internships and visits to companies, public bodies and institutions in the area. These field experiences make it possible to develop concrete operational skills and to come into direct contact with the world of work already during the course of study.
