Interactive Multimedia Design is a career-oriented programme. Students will be exposed to the latest concepts in the multimedia industry and will be able to gain employment in key areas of this growing industry.
Increasingly, the creative multimedia industries require fresh creative employees who are able to multi-task in areas such as photography, audiovisual technology, screen production, screenwriting, animation, interactive media, and post-production. Along with creative and technical skills, many employers, especially in smaller businesses, seek staff with generic business, management and communication skills that will be offered in this programme. As such, the programme aims at honing the students’ technical abilities and to aid in evolving their aesthetic maturity within the creative disciplines of design, media and art.
The programme is broad-based and specialises in areas of interactive design for CD-ROM and DVD-ROM, web design, digital video, and animation. Students are able to specialise in an area of study of their choice in the final semester. The programme is an exploration of new and emerging media and encompasses a diverse range of communication platforms for various audiences. The programme will develop the students’ creative and technological skills and most importantly, the ability to apply these skills to practical solutions and products.The programme places great emphasis on coursework and the use of actual industry client briefs. As students progress, they will develop a portfolio of work while adopting a matured work culture that will prepare them for immediate employment or even for a term of higher study.
Students will possess a considerable edge by gaining experience in some of the leading multimedia companies in the region. It is a recurring trend that many of our students are offered employment even before they graduate.
