Mission

​As a pioneer in the field of multimedia education and prime mover in defining job qualifications for Slovenia’s media production sector, IAM perceives its mission primary in the development and managing of media education programmes. With wide cooperation in development of new job qualifications, we intend to assure better employment possibilities for our graduate students. The purpose of our research and development activities is to optimize the conditions for student work and to actively participate in the rapid development of the media production in Slovenia.

IAM’s activities are oriented also towards development and assistance in media education for the Slovene formal school system and towards teacher training for media assisted education and other issues of e-learning.

We intend to accomplish our mission through narrow cooperation with the main national institutions in the area of education, research and culture as well as the most important media production companies in Slovenia and abroad.

In order to achieve our aims we will foster international cooperation with similar institutions abroad, both disseminating our own and learning from other examples of good practice, especially in the area of Southeastern Europe. IAM believes that well-coordinated local professional potential along with a strong regional network can lead to high quality media education, and thus to transculturally well-integrated media production.

Vision

So we upgrade the existing 2-year multimedia education programme into a 3-year BA programme according to European education standards and the Bologna declaration as well as continue integrating our programmes actively into the national education scape. We strive to offer our students an education assuring them proper professional competences for successful employment and enabling continuation of their study on MA degree level and other strands of the life long learning process. IAM intends to develop further educational programmes to complete the educational palette for all main media production work profiles.

Establishing firm international cooperation links with partner institutions abroad is also among IAM’s top priorities, as it leads to prolific student and teacher exchange as well as further development and accomplishment of media education programmes on the international level. We will also expand our activities to other former Yugoslav and the rest of Southeastern Europe.
