This course offers a cross-disciplinary international approach to digital media design. Working in an inter-disciplinary research environment we encourage you to develop refined approaches to digital and electronic media systems and other related digital technologies and digital design. The principal interest of this course is contemporary art, design and architecture working with animation, motion graphics, photography and interactive multimedia.

A practice based research approach is encouraged as a path to critical enquiry, rigorous thinking and creative energy.The blurring of disciplinary boundaries between the fields of design and the realms of art, science and technology require a questioning of the nature, role and place of the contemporary creative practitioner. You should be prepared to take your practice to a point of creative crisis and then attempt to recover this through the establishment and adoption of a philosophical stance and approach to contemporary media practices and creative work.
