What is the programme about?<br />
The aim of this programme is to meet the demand for graduates with both visual and interactive design skills<br />
that can produce immersive digital media experiences. Graduates will be able to work in a range of roles and<br />
contexts across the Digital Media, Design and Technology sectors. Graduates will be equipped with knowledge<br />
and skills related to Interface & User Experience Design, Interaction Design, Visualisation (in both an<br />
interactive and non-interactive context), Augmented and Mixed Reality, Web Technologies & Motion Graphics.<br />
The programme offering blends technology with visual and interactive design practices to produce unique<br />
graduates. The programme is heavily focused on the needs and requirements of the digital media sector. To<br />
this end, students are provided with comprehensive lectures, tutorials and workshops in creative, design &<br />
technological fields. Students also gain valuable work experience and opportunities to collaborate with external<br />
organisations and agencies by undertaking client-led external briefs.<br />
Delivery focuses on foundational visual and interactive design principles, complemented with the development<br />
of technological skills. As the programme progresses, there is a greater emphasis on the creation of an overall<br />
immersive digital media experience. This is achieved through cross-modular projects that require students to<br />
be cognisant of both creative and technical requirements in the conception and execution of project briefs.<br />
