ObjectivesThis exciting course is the result of collaboration between staff and students in Art and Design and IT and digital technology. It aims to provide creative people with skills for what has been described as 'the missing industry'. The course is largely studio based and taught by practitioners as well as academics from the field. There are visiting lecturers, guest seminar programmes and events run in partnership with regional media agencies. Studio projects are increasingly self-directed with options for sponsored projects/competition entry.
