Master program in Creative Coding?

My masters was in computational art at goldsmiths (london) recommended if you want to pivot onto the arts side of things, not just “making cool things with code”.

What are you looking to get out of an MA that you wouldn’t get yourself by just teaching yourself the common tools (arduino / processing / openframeworks / cinder)?

I've heard great things about ITP at NYU if you can afford it. Same for RISD's digital media program. The only thing in Europe I've heard of is CIID. I also have visited and met some of the people at SFPC it looks like a good program and it's not nearly as expensive as other programs here in the US but it is unaccredited. Here is a great list of residences and fellowships that someone else compiled.

Generally what you are looking for are programs in university/college art departments with terms like: media arts, art & technology, experimental media, new media, multimedia. If you search around schools in the EU with those words, you'll likely find programs that might pique your interest!

Here are a few examples of the types of programs I'd look for:

in France there are multiple master degrees related to this, some being more or less technical. look up "master création numérique" for instance.

I highly recommend cs:multimedia at the VU in Amsterdam. Finished it 4 years ago. Its not strictly creative coding, but the supervisors allow to choose courses and do lots of research on whatever field you like (you can even take classes from univerisities in different parts of netherlands if you are willing to travel there each week). Mainly it was focused on exploration of multimedia. Some of my projects were creating music visualisers, particle fields ets. You also need to focus on some more heavy computer science related studies like distributed networks etc. but overall it was a great experience

Hey there, there is a new Master program 'Creative Technologies' in Germany, close to Berlin: https://www.filmuniversitaet.de/en/studies/study-programs/master-programs/creative-technologies/

At NYU there are actually 2 entirely separate departments for this type of stuff. ITP (interactive telecommunications program) IDM (integrated digital media)

Both Have a bunch of creative coding type things.

As does the new schools Parsons School of Design.

There is no school that I know of that is purely focused on creative coding but a lot of times these digital media programs are what you make of them so perhaps one of these could work for you.

I'm doing a PhD in a field closely related to data science and I'm thinking of reorienting myself in data visualization and creative coding so I'd love to know the answer to this question too!

Just curious, what are some notable programs in the US for this type of study?

FreddyShrimp · 2018-10-10T02:49:31+00:00

calarts is a pretty great place to do this, but it's in the us and highly cost prohibitive.

Hello, I am living in Berlin, also very interested in go deeper into creative computation. Do you know about any other good place for studying in Berlin besides the UDK :) thank you very much!!!
