- This new programme was formely known as BA (Hons) in Digital Media.
- Preference will be given to students with good language skills.
Aims & Objectives
We aim to produce idea-driven content designers regardless of their background or disciplines. It rights the paradigm of confusing creativity based on ideas with fabrication based on technical know-how. With this in mind, students are also taught the necessary technical, entrepreneurial, and analytical skills to become self-learning and self-enabling to execute a given creative idea successfully.
Characteristics
Is Media Design for you?
We facilitate personal growth in students through self-discovery, self-discipline, self-analysis, and self-learning. We encourage independent thinking, successful positioning, and inventive creation through contextual awareness, imagination, collaboration, and knowledge application.
This programme adopts the motto of ‘content is king’ wherein ‘idea will always lead execution.’ It trains content designers by giving them the necessary tools to compete in the world of digital media and digital entertainment. Given intellectual property as a significant source for economic growth, having that winning idea means a chance of being placed in a commanding position.
Year 3 Pre-professional Collaborations
Year 3 provides students with the essential knowledge and skills for film and animation production. Students will be introduced to project-based learning for their studio project; hence they will learn to collaborate with their peers and explore different mediums and methods in filmmaking and animation.
Year 4 Integrative Design
Students progressing from Year 3 to Year 4 will have professional experience with industry partners and be equipped with the knowledge and skills they acquired during Year 3 for the capstone projects. The final year provides students with independent and life-long learning experience opportunities through a series of student-led projects.
