Students become proficient with existing techniques and ideas and are encouraged to challenge and question them. From the outset of the programme, students develop an online portfolio that allows them to demonstrate their ideas and the application of technology as a means to chart their progress through their studies.
Students in Year 1 share a common programme of study with BA Digital Media Design. This is a parallel programme that focuses more on the initiation of design ideas and the creative design process. The core theme of Year 1 is based around the design and production of websites and the principles of interactivity. Students explore the imperatives of the design process and develop their proficiency with the enabling technologies used to bring ideas to production.
In Year 2, students develop practice in one of the following areas: web and interactive media production; animation and game production; and production solutions for portable media. Although there are many crossover points, this focus allows students to explore the particular production technologies associated with a more defined area of practice.
Students in Year 3 refine their core interests within their specialist area by developing tailor-made projects. There is also the opportunity to study business practice within the creative digital media industry.
