MASTER MEDIA DESIGN AND COMMUNICATION

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
