Photography and Visual Design

The one-year Academic Master prepares professionals for their entry into the world of photography, arts, and national and international communication, integrating theoretical study with projects, workshops and guided visits to research centers and exhibition spaces, audiovisual production facilities, publishing houses, theatres, artists’ studios, museums and contemporary art galleries. The second part of the programme is dedicated to a period of internship in collaboration with a network of partner companies and institutions that facilitate the entry of students into the job market.

Over the AM, students will have the opportunity to:

• Acquire solid historical and cultural knowledge
• Develop the technical and practical skills necessary for success in national and international markets
• Learn a number of professional methods and presentation techniques that will be useful in the working environment
