Over 60% of this programme is practical. Applications used on the programme include: Macromedia Flash, Director, Dreamweaver, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Encore, Photoshop, Quicktime, Protools, Adobe Audition and 3D Studio Max. Students have access to well-equipped media labs and studios with a dedicated radio production studio, audio recording studio and video production studio.
