Multimedia

at Dublin City University

In the course of your Multimedia degree, you’ll acquire a command of the concepts and practices in digital text, image and sound manipulation, and multimedia authoring. In this way, you will be equipped to contribute to multimedia product development and to manage a diverse range of multimedia projects. You will participate in many group-based projects, reflecting the media design and production industries that this programme prepares graduates for and developing your skills in effective and creative teamwork.

You will:

• develop an understanding of digital media theory, including issues of content and form.
• acquire a command of the concepts and practices in digital text, image and sound manipulation, and multimedia authoring.
• learn to design, develop, and manage a diverse range of creative multimedia projects.

Year One of the programme has a fixed set of core modules that develop crucial production skills in imaging, video, sound, responsive media and information design, as well as a foundation in social and media theory that will inform your studies and work.

Year Two continues your education in relevant theory and in interaction design, allowing a significant specialisation as you choose the degree focus that best suits you from a range of modules in areas such as advanced sound and video production, interactive apps, animation, media spaces, physical computing and more.

Year Three allows further options for specialism and provides support and development for a major project that encompasses the final semester of the programme. These projects are diverse in form and focus, but each becomes a substantial showcase of the students’ creative skill. A public exhibition of these projects takes place in central Dublin each May.
