Medialogy Aalborg University

Overview

Medialogy focuses on teaching and research, combining technology and creativity with focus on both hardware and software in designing new processes and tools within media technology. The programme at Aalborg University meets the increasing demand for professionals within technology and software development in the modern media- and experience industry.

In creating and designing interactive systems, the connection between the various academic fields is the biggest challenge. Medialogy’s interdisciplinary structure demands a solid technical basis in both theory and practice, and as a student, you must be able to master and combine many different academic fields such as programming, electronics, mathematics, human perception, cinematography and statistics.

Medialogy is the technology behind the creativity, and you must be interested in developing creative ideas as well as the programming behind them. Programming is a large part of the education, so it is important that you are interested in and have a flair for mathematics.
