Create digital content, implement it in an interactive environment and distribute it over diverse networks.
You’ll learn to build:
-Web-based distributed multimedia applications
-Computer-generated animations
-Interactive virtual environments
Throughout the course, we emphasise the need to adopt a human-centred approach.
How will I study?
You will study a number of core modules and options. In the summer term, you will undertake a supervised dissertation, usually based on a multimedia programming project.
Assessment is through:
-Coursework
-Unseen examinations
-Essays
-Software and programming projects
-A 12,000-word dissertation
MSc project
On our Masters courses, you’ll complete a substantial MSc project, which is often practical as well as theoretical. The project is designed for you to excel in your personal and professional development and to consolidate the material covered in your modules. It demands individual responsibility and exposes you to issues of:
-Project management
-Resourcing
-Planning
-Scheduling
-Documentation and communication
-Critical awareness and creative thinking
In Informatics, you are encouraged to seek a project with a commercial or industrial flavour. Finding an industrial sponsor or host is fine, though you will still need an academic supervisor.
The course is supported by the Media Technology Laboratory, which provides:
-State-of-the-art digital facilities
-Software development tools
-Multimedia content creation tools
-Studio facilities and professional video-editing systems
The Laboratory enables you to undertake practical work assignments using facilities that you would find in the modern digital media industry.
