Until April 2007, this degree was known as MSc New Media Applications

This degree specialises in the development and evaluation of the best solutions for online and offline media applications.

You will focus on furthering your skills and understanding of the tools and techniques for the creation, manipulation and post-production of audio and visual media.

You will evaluate and select appropriate solutions for client and user needs, working on real or simulated projects in an industry-like context. You'll also gain valuable experience in the latest ASP.NET technology to design and implement data-driven websites.

The integrated tools and methods for digital media and the roles, such as a consultant, in a full project development cycle will be covered. You can also select an option to specialise in web design, mobile systems or online enterprise development, and will develop your understanding and experience of research. The final part 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 MSc.

Funding and Fees
