 Interactive Media (CSIM) at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona
User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0a1 (Windows/20060724)

The Universitat Pompeu Fabra is offering a new interdisciplinary master
in Cognitive Systems and Interactive Media (CSIM) that will start in
September 2007. CSIM is conceived for students having a background in
any of the related fields of knowledge ranging from science and
engineering to humanities and arts that is equivalent to an official
undergraduate degree (See http://www.iua.upf.edu/csim/ for a detailed
description).

*Orientation:* Research (PhD) and professional

*Objectives: *
The mission of CSIM is to train the future generation of researchers and
professionals that will investigate, develop, engineer, deploy and
analyse the cognitive systems and interactive media that will populate
our future societies. CSIM will achieve this goal through a fundamental
interdisciplinary approach that combines science, engineering, arts and
humanities to instill a deep understanding of the design, construction,
deployment and analysis of cognitive systems and interactive media
combined with the practical skills to realize them.

*Academic structure: *
The master can be completed with a science/technology or
media/humanities specialization and several project oriented routes can
be taken: Cognitive Systems, Content and Media, Quality of Life and
Mobility and Interaction. These routes are aligned with the Information
Society Technology programs of the 7th framework program of the European
Commission. In discussion with the tutor and the coordinator also an
itinerary that is fully customized to the expertise and objectives of
the student can be defined.
The main distinctions are between the 1 year (60 ECTS) or the 2 year
track (120 ECTS) and the research and professional orientation. The
choice of duration of the curriculum depends on the student’s previous
experience and education and their objectives. The research orientation
prepares the students for a PhD in any of the associated departments,
while the professional orientation prepares them to enter a career in
industry.

The master is project oriented and students are included in the research
activities of the affiliated research groups.

The CSIM master program is interdisciplinary and offers a multitude of
levelling courses from the undergraduate program of its affiliated
departments to allow an effective interdisciplinary exchange. The exact
program of levelling courses will be defined in discussion with the
tutor and the CSIM coordinator.

*Language:* English

*Number of credits:* 60, 120 (ECTS) depending on the previous education
and experience of the student.
