Art and Design of Video Games
Aleksandar Vuković, student of Art and Design of Video Games
The University of Arts and the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Belgrade have created a joint interdisciplinary MA program in Art and Video Game Design, which connects the field of art (fine arts, design and music) and the field of mathematical sciences. The program offers the latest knowledge and experience in the field of programming, but with a new dimension, which adapts scientific and technological knowledge to the field of art. On the other hand, basic knowledge and skills from the fields of art are applied and incorporated into the field of video games.
The study program is intended as a space where academic knowledge meets the experience of experts from the creative industries sector, which will fully support the implementation of the practical part of the master’s program during all three semesters. During the internship in companies, students will have the opportunity to get acquainted with all aspects of work on the preparation and implementation of various segments of making, designing and producing video games, and then apply these experiences in the implementation of their final master’s thesis.
After completing the master’s studies, the student is expected to be trained for effective teamwork with different profiles of experts, designers, artists and programmers – engaged in the production of video games.

Polymedia Art
Polymedia Arts – Doctoral Art Project – Nikola Govedarica
Polymedia Arts represent extensive art activity and include models that combine two or more media – based on the diverse effects on the senses, types of signs, or signal sources. In theory and practice, polymedia arts engage almost all the aspects of media combination – from classical to digital, from theatre to performance, and art synthesis.
The doctoral programme in Polymedia Art encourages artists to research synthesized artistic practices developing the ability to articulate an interactive relationship between materials, media, and procedures, or between creators and observers in interdisciplinary art projects, considering the effect on our senses (visual, sound, tactile), the type of signals (for example musical and speaking), and storing and processing (film, video, digital polymedia) as well.
The programme is aimed to expand student’s boundaries of theoretical and aesthetic thinking and develop their creative potential in this field and provide not only a highly supportive learning environment for experimentation, innovation, and discovery but also a historical and theoretical insight into various poetics and techniques and technologies of polymedia art.

Digital Art
Digital Art – Doctoral Art Project – Jelena Nikolić
The doctoral programme in Digital Art aims to explore and expand the possibilities of digital technology in artistic work that include: digital animation, digital image, digital video, digital sound, and interactive multimedia.
The multidisciplinary approach to digital technology is blurring the boundaries of creative media and students are encouraged to exploit this fascinating opportunity. The use of digital video and audio means opens a path to the creation of works of art blending classical techniques with computer animation and digital compositing. Of importance though, the programme is not led by technology, it is about being inspired by technology.
Through lectures that include theory and practice and individual work with a mentor on their doctoral interdisciplinary project, students acquire the highest level of knowledge, as well as competencies for independent and group artistic creation by means of digital technology.

Theory of Arts and Media
PhD programme Theory of Arts and Media encourages students to explore conceptually and creatively the ways in which contemporary artistic practice and critical theory interrelate, to expand their knowledge of contemporary artistic developments and to deepen their understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of the arts. The programme is based on independent study, supported by supervisory and courses designed to help students to undertake their research and develop transferable skills.
Interdisciplinary theoretical approach starts from historical (diachronic) and comparative (synchronic) study of contemporary theories, and then develops through analytical and critical-interpretive methodological matrix based on textual study of art and media (newspapers, television, film, internet, social media), as well as various artistic and media representational and performing practices.
Duration: 6 semesters
ECTS: 180
