You can tailor this course to your own specification to broaden or specialise your skills and knowledge.

You will be able to meet your individual requirements by selecting modules from other MA and MSc courses.

As an example, students with experience of 2D computer animation will gain advanced animation skills and be able to incorporate these skills in web design, gaining an understanding of design issues and social and psychological issues of digital imaging.

You can choose from a large portfolio of modules and develop your research skills. Individual academic advice on the most appropriate choices to match your experience will be given to ensure that a coherent degree pathway is established. The final stage will be devoted to your individual project.

Course Structure and Content

All courses start in the September of each year, and the year is divided into two parts.

The taught part has 6 modules, each worth 20 credits, delivered between September and May. The second part is where you undertake an individual project of research and development. This is assessed at the end of the year (September) by a presentation and written dissertation, and is worth 60 credits.

If you do not wish to complete all the taught modules or project, there are three intermediate awards you can achieve instead of the full award of MA.

It may not be possible to offer all the options every year (modules marked # will not be running in 2008-9). Students will choose their modules in consultation with an academic tutor during the first week of the course.]
