Media Production & Digital Arts

Are you interested in working in the dynamic and fast-paced media world? Do you want to tell stories across a multitude of different platforms including short dramas, animations, radio documentaries, photography, and many more? This four-year course (formerly Creative Digital Media) will help you develop the necessary skills to do exactly this.

Working in a studio-based environment, our hands-on production modules and specialist workshops focus on digital content creation and will have you thinking, designing and creating right from the start. This degree is designed to be fluid, responding to both your interests and the ever-changing industry landscape. With a complementary suite of practical and theoretical modules, all aspects of the course inform and are informed by each other.

As you develop your understanding of the technologies and their storytelling potential, you choose which paths to follow in your final two years. Project work includes filmmaking, music videos, 2D and 3D animations, motion design, graphic design and photographic portfolios.

Our course will also introduce you to emerging media practices such as interactive video, augmented and virtual reality, and creative coding so you'll get the skillset needed to work with the latest media and storytelling technologies. You'll also be studying the role of the media in society, keeping an eye on 21st century social and technological trends.

Study Abroad Opportunities: We have Erasmus links with several European Institutions across Finland, France, Germany and Spain in addition to international opportunities to study in Canada for a semester. These exchange opportunities are offered in year 3 for one semester.
