About

Our programme allows you to move flexibly and fluently across the rapidly expanding field of hybrid media practices: from software art, e-publishing, to a variety of lens-based practices for both new and traditional platforms. All elements of the course support your independent projects, providing skills that facilitate self-directed research.

The central elements of the course are:

• Free and open source software development
• Participatory media practices
• Film & video editing skills
• Practice-based thematic projects that focus on a particular aspect of the contemporary media ecology
• Research methodologies which helps you position your own work within the current context
• Archiving, recording and presenting your work.

All these elements provide tools to differentiate your work in an increasingly complex and competitive field.
Students of the Media Design & Communication programme come from a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and cultures, and their work encompasses a range of approaches to creating an individual media language: developing skills to create ambitious individual and group projects.
Within this context the Master programme provides opportunities for specialization in: Networked Media and Lens Based Media
