MSc Advanced Multimedia Design and 3D Technologies |
| The UK is a world leader in the media production industries with numerous film post-production, broadcast and games companies located in the London area. The continued digitisation of the multimedia industry and the different types and flexibility of digital transmission of media has resulted in the diversification of multimedia. Many existing multimedia organisations have found it very difficult to keep up with the incredible pace of change, and this is resulting in the emergence of a great number of small and medium sized specialist multimedia organisations. The growth of these multimedia design companies means there is a growing demand for artistically talented and technically skilled graduates, who show artistic design talent. This new course provides a unique mix of multimedia and interaction design processes, design of 3D virtual reality and animation media, AV media and effects, and intelligent media combined with real and virtual studio and on-location multimedia creation. It not only focuses on the creative art and design aspects of digital media, but also on the theory and practice of the technical tools and techniques required for creating intelligent, interactive real and virtual reality media through the development of design and technology knowledge, understanding and skills. This programme in aims to develop a thorough knowledge of the design principles and techniques required for the design of combined real and virtual interactive and intelligent multimedia and an appreciation of the current research directions and opportunities that are available in this field of research. Specific aims of this programme are to: - Develop advanced knowledge and skills relevant to the design and creation of combined real and virtual interactive and intelligent multimedia and tools to assist in the creation of combined real and virtual interactive and intelligent multimedia. - Develop the ability of designing complex combined real and virtual interactive and intelligent multimedia creations, and the versatility to apply a variety of different design tools and technologies across a range of different media areas to realise the creation. - Develop creativity and independent learning ability required for continuing professional development, further research, and for acquiring new skills at a high level.
