This programme focuses on the theoretical background and technical skills needed to design, implement, and evaluate new media systems. You will develop skills in the analysis of human interaction with such systems and human-to-human interaction through the use of new media systems. Particular attention in the programme is given to interactive systems and you might choose to conduct a project on multimodal design, prototype, or evaluation tools; collaborative music systems; gesture and communication systems; or interactive data visualisation/auditory displays.
The programme is essentially technical; further developing your skills so you can create substantive prototypes on your final project, demonstrating your eligibility for employment in the multimedia/multimodal industries. The programme also incorporates less technical modules that give a sound theoretical foundation in interaction design that is not tied to any specific technology.
You will graduate with options to work in the new media entertainment industry, especially computer games, social software and other multi-user forms of online interaction.
