Goals
This Ph.D Programme, proposed by the University of Porto and Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in collaboration with the University of Texas at Austin, provides specialized training in the area of Digital Media.
The emergence of new applications in the area of digital media such as videogames, interactive content on the web, interactive TV, video on demand, the emergence of educational software for high impact in the younger and, more recently, dissemination of news content, marketing and entertainment on mobile devices, demonstrates the importance of study and research about this type of content and study of its relationship with technology, different areas of science and society in general. It becomes even clearer the need for universities to educate professionals in this area, with capabilities related to various levels of training and in this case, the level of the third cycle.
