Media Arts Cultures is a mobility program, 
enabling students to study across Europe and in 
Asia. During the two-year program, each student 
will spend three semesters in at least three 
universities, and choose among the EU partners 
for the final semester. After completing the 
program, students will receive a joint master 
degree in Media Arts Cultures from the 
universities they have attended. The program is 
120 ECTS and allows graduates to further pursue a 
PhD within Europe or other international higher 
education regions.

More than 13 of the best EU and non-EU candidates 
will be offered Erasmus+ fully-funded 
scholarships for the duration of the program. As 
an internationally recognized Erasmus Mundus 
Joint Master Degree, students accepted into the 
MediaAC program without Erasmus+ scholarships 
will have increased chances of securing funding 
from external-funding sources.
