Interaction Design Estonian Academy of Arts

This master's degree focuses on how people interact with the world around them, centering on human experiences, digital products, and services. Students are trained to sit at the center of ongoing technological change, taking the lead in shaping a future built on human values, needs, and behaviors, as technology increasingly moves beyond being a mere tool and starts shaping the relationships people have with it.

The program takes a human-centered approach to design, treating people as the stable foundation on which designers build their methods and attitudes, even as the broader technological landscape shifts rapidly. At the same time, the curriculum pushes students to look beyond human-centered design alone, encouraging them to consider the needs of the planet alongside those of people when designing the objects and services of the future, recognizing designers' significant influence over how people perceive, value, and interact with their surroundings.

Rather than treating design as a fixed solution, the program frames designers as mediators who build the future by creating well-considered possibilities and options. The program draws on input from leading design practitioners both nationally and internationally, and welcomes students from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds, valuing the diverse perspectives that emerge from an interdisciplinary cohort working together through peer-to-peer learning.

Graduates go on to work in roles such as interaction designer, service designer, UX or UI designer, digital product designer, UX researcher, product owner, or innovation specialist, and the program places strong emphasis on helping students build an internationally competitive portfolio alongside the practical experience gained during their studies.
Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree, though no prior background or professional experience in design is required, and demonstrate English proficiency at the B2 level. The application includes a bachelor's degree certificate and transcript, a CV detailing educational and work history, a display of previous experience consisting of illustrated samples of past work, whether design projects, creative pieces, writing, or other relevant work demonstrating the applicant's approach to problem-solving, and a motivational letter of up to two pages addressing the applicant's background, interest in interaction design, and goals for the program.

The display of previous experience is assessed primarily on the depth and content of the applicant's experience, along with presentation skills, while the motivational letter is evaluated mainly on its relevance to the program's content, along with the applicant's familiarity with the design field and their skills in analysis, argumentation, and spoken English. Eligible applicants then complete a timed admission assignment, in which they respond to a design brief within two hours and present their solution visually with supporting explanation, assessed on problem-solving, context analysis, logical thinking, creativity, and presentation skills. Applicants who complete this assignment successfully are invited to a final interview, conducted via video call, which explores the applicant's motivation, familiarity with the field of interaction design, and communication skills, forming the basis for the final admission decision.

Animation Estonian Academy of Arts

This master's degree educates creators of animated films, providing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills while contributing to the broader development of animation as an art form. The program welcomes students from diverse educational backgrounds and encourages each student to develop their own individual approach to filmmaking, resulting in work that ranges from narrative to experimental in style.

Over the course of two years, each student completes two artistic projects: a graduate animated film and a second artistic project that may take a different form, such as an exhibition, an interactive piece, or an application, provided it relates to animation. For the graduate film, students choose their own techniques and materials and take on the roles of scriptwriter, director, artist, and animator, though limited technical assistance is permitted. Coursework combines theoretical study, which examines animation in depth as an art form both within traditional film and cinema contexts and within fine art and gallery settings, with mentorship and regular practical workshops offering hands-on training in various animation techniques and related artistic practices, adapted to each student's needs.

The curriculum aims to provide an academic foundation in animation and prepare students for work as directors of animated films or as members of a creative team within an animation studio. It also builds a systematic understanding of animated film as a distinct media form, develops practical skills in areas such as scriptwriting, storyboarding, editing, film sound design, and directing, and prepares students for research in the field.

Graduates are qualified to work as animated film creators, as professionals across the broader creative industries, or as teachers in the field, and the program also prepares students who wish to continue on to doctoral studies.
Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree and demonstrate English proficiency at the B2 level. The application includes a bachelor's degree certificate and transcript, a CV, a proposed master's thesis project or vision, and a motivational letter, along with a portfolio submitted as a PDF containing up to five selected films or clips representing the applicant's best previous work, with the option to include additional material beyond this core selection.

Shortlisted applicants take part in an informal admission interview, conducted via video call, in which they present their creative background, their plans for their master's project, and their views on animation and contemporary art, with the committee asking further questions as needed. The interview assesses the applicant's previous creative output based on their CV and portfolio, the fit between the applicant's creative approach and the program's aims and methods, their ability to work both independently and collaboratively, their communication and cooperation skills, and their motivation to study. Applicants receive a score from 1 to 10 based on this assessment, with a minimum score of 4 required for admission.

Design master's degrees in Europe split between practice-led programs (producing work, exhibiting, or delivering projects) and research-focused programs (investigating design questions through written and empirical methods). Both are valid, but they serve different career goals. One-year intensive programs (common in the UK) exist alongside two-year Bologna-structured programs. Industry connections, thesis projects with real clients, and studio culture vary significantly by school.
