This programme is designed for those who wish to pursue a career in the creative digital industries and provides a strong grounding in digital media production with an emphasis on creativity and innovation. You will develop skills in visual design, storytelling, video production, animation, creative thinking, interface design and product development alongside an understanding of computing, digital technologies and programming.

On achieving a set of base skills you will be encouraged to develop your understanding of digital media through the production of a series of practical projects that require you to adopt increasingly creative solutions and take on greater management of the process.
