Media technology is the convergence of design and computer science.

FIRST YEAR
Throughout the first year, students will have the opportunity to develop a firm foundation in the basic elements and principles of design. Both conventional and computer teaching/learning methods are used. In the Liberal Arts modules, students will have the opportunity to learn basic knowledge and skills that will assist them in broadening their verbal and visual vocabulary.

Core modules are in:
English • Basic Design • Colour Practice and Theory • Computer Practical • Practical Programming • Design History • Drawing • Introduction to Theory and Design Methodology • Photography • On-line Production • Typography • Online Media

SECOND YEAR
Information from year one is further investigated and researched in greater depth. Concepts and ideas discussed in Introduction to Theory and Methodology are reinforced in the other classes. Student centred learning is introduced in the curriculum as a learning strategy. At the beginning of the second semester, students will select an area of specialisation which they would like to pursue.

Core modules are in:
Computer Graphic Design • Flash & Director • Design History • Typography • Internet Applications

THIRD YEAR
Previous knowledge, research, and skills are applied and further developed by special projects given in the student’s core subjects. Students undertake an intern project where design research, theory, creativity, technical skills, and communication skills are applied to practical projects for selected non-profit clients

Core modules are in:
Computer Graphic Design • Internship • Degree Project • Design Methodology • Professional Practice • Typography • Graphics & Multimedia • Type In Motion
