The course satisfies the demand for graduates with media technology knowledge alongside practical skills in writing software. Unlike many art-focused degrees, which only teach the technical aspects of design, this course addresses the steps in programming required to build the game using programming from scratch. Student will not only gain a thorough understanding of modern computer technology, but also a solid knowledge of how the latest sound, graphics and video technology works.

In addition to core computer science modules, your studies will also concentrate on multimedia technology and interactive media. You will gain a solid understanding of the hardware and software aspects of capturing and storing sound and images in a digital form. You will explore the techniques involved in producing your own creative digital media. The principles of animation are featured – where programming is taught using high and low level programming tools. Digital image editing and manipulation, together with video editing and distribution are also examined.

This programme take an in-depth look at advanced aspects of image and sound processing, as well as multimedia communication. You will undertake an individual high-level design project investigating an application of multimedia technology.
