The elective courses are structured around three concentrations. Students can take courses from any concentration to fulfill the elective requirement.

1. New Media Arts and Aesthetics

This includes several courses which provide a deep understanding of contemporary approaches to arts rooted in our School's tradition and expertise in avant-garde, experimental and neonarrative New Media Arts.

2. Critical Theories for Arts and Technology 

This proposes several courses of advanced studies in contemporary thought and in new media theory in which our School has developed a strong international presence. This block allows our students to be part of the most recent intellectual debates in Western/non-Western contemporary philosophies.

3. Interventions in Media Cultures 

This fosters students’ capacity to intervene in the social, mediatic, regulatory, urban environment. This concentration takes advantage of the strong integration of our School in its cultural, artistic and economic regional context.
