This course is designed to meet the challenges of employment (including self-employment) within the context of an emerging creative economy. The creative industries form an increasingly important component of the global economy, focused upon the creation and exploitation of intellectual property across a range of disciplines including film, design, digital media and photography. In this course, students will research and develop original products that impact on audiences and address practical outcomes for users. Graduates will have an informed, critical and creative approach to understanding media, design and visual culture within a rapidly evolving social and work environment.
