TeachingMaster's Programme in Cross Media Interaction Design, 120 Credits

Studies at the Cross Media Interaction Design programme consist of a mix between theoretical studies and hands-on projects. The pedagogical model includes two main components: practice in close collaboration with the digital media industry and a focus on digital portfolios. During the courses, the students will work on projects integrated with the regular business of companies in the digital media industry, both in the academic environment and at the companies. Opportunities to work on cases provided by international companies will continuously be given throughout the education and different suggestions for thesis projects will be provided by the industry.

During the programme, each student produces content for their individual, digital portfolio. The portfolio highlights and demonstrates the different skills that the students develop during the courses and each course will provide something to put in the portfolio. After graduation, the portfolio will serve as a great tool for demonstration of the individual skills that each student has acquired.
Have a look at Niklas and Sebastian for two examples of what student portfolios can look like.

A more unusual example of a portfolio is that two of the students on the programme are members of the well-known YouTube group Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time.

During your education you will also be introduced to entrepreneurship and the art of creating your own business. This will be done by Campus Skellefteå Innovation that also offers support to students with innovation and business ideas that they are interested in developing further.

The education is normally taught in English, and good knowledge of the English language and of writing text is important in order to fulfil studies on the programme.
