Education
MMI. Master in Media Innovation - NHTV University of Applied Science - Breda, The Netherlands
​2012 - 2013
The guiding principle of this programme is that successful media innovations are often not brand new, but rather, they build on existing, recognisable elements. These elements, or codes, are the building blocks that can be found in any media product. This master sheds light on these building blocks from different theoretical perspectives. Once understood this, the codes behind a media product, masters can make new connections. This is how they arrive at new concepts that are innovative and future-oriented.
The programme has a unique, multidisciplinary approach. It not only trains students to acquire analytical skills, teaches to look beyond the surface of digital media and distinguish crucial digital processes, but it also teaches to transform analytical insights into the building blocks by means of which students can design tomorrow’s media products.
