About us
The Media Lab Helsinki was founded in 1994 and is now a part of the Department of Media at the School of Arts, Design and Architecture of the Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland. The mission of the Media Lab is to explore, discover and comprehend the new digital technology and its impact in society; to find and exploit the possibilities it opens to communication, interaction and expression and to evaluate, understand and deal with the challenges it poses to design and creative production.
Research at the Media Lab
From an artistic and design perspective, the research subject of the Media Lab is digital media, how is it created and used and what is its potential impact in society. Our research engages in practical and theoretical activities covering both traditional and new categories in non-conventional ways. The research agenda of Media Lab is truly interdisciplinary, international, and closely aligned 色色啦 University鈥檚 strategic priority in information communications technology (ICT) and Media.
Studies
There are a number of ways to partake in the studies here at the lab. We offer three full-time two-year Major subjects, shorter thematic Minor subject studies at the MA level, Doctoral studies and even some opportunities to visit us as an exchange student.
