Incorporating integral study abroad in Year 3, this course has been developed for the new media professional ready to work in a global industry.

Placements are available in Europe and beyond with our wide range of partner institutions and we’ll work with you to find a placement that suits your skills, interests and ambitions.

Studying this course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the role digital media and interaction design plays within our lives, exploring how people use and respond to emerging technology and media. You’ll be equipped with adaptable practical and theoretical skills to allow you to design for current and future trends, whether you are creating for screen-based media, interactive experiences or physical computing.

During your studies you will be supported to create a portfolio of work, make links with industry and undertake optional work placement or study abroad options. We use industry standard packages in specialist Mac and PC labs.
