Overview

Areas of expertise include the development of software, the manipulation of digital media, the fabrication of material objects, the production of electronic devices, the construction of virtual and physical spaces, media theory, interactive installation, and the philosophy of technology.

Our curriculum, community, and active learning environment facilitate student acquisition of both conceptual insights and practical skills, encouraging our students to explore their personal interests whilst engaging both critically and creatively with new technologies.

The Interactive Media Arts majors at NYU Shanghai take a required foundation course, What is New Media? A course designed to give students a strong theoretical and historical background in new media arts.

Key facts:

Students then choose from a range of elective categories across the disciplines of art & design, humanities, science, computation, and business with great freedom to make a selection based on their personal interest and future career goals.

Students will receive guidance in their choices if they want to specialize in a particular area (business, arts, humanities or computer science). All majors finish with a two semester Capstone Studio course that synthesizes theoretical research and practice to produce an emerging media project and related essay.
