Introduction

A Bachelor of Arts in Digital Media Design prepares students to meet the needs of the digital age as designers of content, systems, and products, where text, image, video, audio, graphics, and animation converge. Starting from a generalized approach, students learn specializations in interaction design or digital video. In Digital Media Design, students engage with and apply digital technologies innovatively, in order to design products to communicate and enhance life experiences.

A range of technologies and products that students engage with include websites, mobile applications, interactive games, design deliverables, music videos, digital video, motion graphics, short format animation, wayfinding systems, and digital photography. The Department's facilities include four comprehensive computer laboratories with the latest high-end graphics computers, an audio recording suite an animation studio, and a green screen studio.
