NIME Education at the School of Arts of the Portuguese Catholic University / CITAR

摘要

The liberalization of radio and television broadcast industry in Portugal and the recent flow of investment into the field of creative industries, together with exponential developments in communication technologies, resulted in a growing demand for professionals in the field of audiovisual production. The new Media Industry requires qualified human resources with strong skills in Artist, Technology, Culture and Ethics. This paper presents some of the courses currently offered at the EA-UCP that have some degree of relevancy to NIME (New Interfaces for Musical Expression). Different professors, with different backgrounds (from arts and music to engineering), are responsible for each one the courses, and some of the courses have in fact more than one professor, usually with different backgrounds, allowing to cover the different facets of more interdisciplinar curricular units.
