Creative digital media combines the creativity of art and design with the skills and knowledge of computer technologies and programming to create interactive digital media products. Creative digital media comes in many different formats. It can be almost anything you can hear or see like text, image, music, sound, video, film, animation, and more. By combining media, content and interactivity, those interested in creative digital media can take on and work with a variety of media forms to get their content to communicate across a variety of platforms and in some cases perform interactive experiences. You will be introduced to the most up-to- date design and media industry software and hardware. The course will also support the development of contemporary critical awareness to assist you in your academic studies. You will be given the opportunity to develop your presentation skills and learn to create innovative creative digital media projects. You will produce projects in digital media design, video production, music technology, computer programming, digital marketing, media business, animation, virtual reality, user experience (UX), user interface design (UI), digital culture and much more! The work placement (minimum of 13 weeks in year 3) is supported by a member of academic staff in MTU together with a workplace mentor. The aim of the work placement is to introduce the student to structured employment in a relevant work sector and to develop the student’s understanding of the organisation, its procedures and technology. Students may also choose to study abroad on an Erasmus exchange instead of the work placement.
