Master Arts — Création numérique

Aix-Marseille University is the largest multidisciplinary French-speaking university, hosting 80,000 students and 8,000 staff across five large campuses. It is a research-intensive institution known for its international outlook and commitment to academic excellence.

Création numérique (digital creation) is a track of the Master Arts at Aix-Marseille Université, based in Marseille Cedex 3, France. Digital creation covers artistic practice that uses digital tools and media, including video, interactive installation, digital sound, generative or computational art, and other forms that rely on software and digital technology as part of the creative process. Students in this field typically combine technical training in digital tools with artistic and theoretical study, learning to use software and hardware for creation while also situating their work within the history and critical discourse of digital and new media art. Coursework usually includes studio or project-based work where students produce digital pieces, alongside seminars on media theory, the history of digital and technological art, and critical approaches to questions such as interactivity, virtuality, or the relationship between art and technology. Because digital tools change quickly, the discipline also trains students to adapt their practice to new technical possibilities rather than relying on a fixed set of software skills. Graduates from digital creation programs typically pursue careers as digital artists, multimedia designers, interactive installation creators, or work in cultural institutions, production studios, or arts organizations that engage with digital media, and some continue toward further research or practice-based study. The program is a master's degree lasting 2 years, taught in French, with an inferred start date in September, based in Marseille Cedex 3, France, with yearly tuition of 250 EUR.
