Digital Television and Interactive Media, BSc Hons

Do you want to join the exciting and fast-moving developments in the creative digital media industries? Traditional and new media industries are evolving rapidly and require graduates who understand and can handle diverse technologies and creative processes. This programme addresses the blurring of boundaries inherent in emergent forms of digital media and the blending of digital media technologies and content. It also enables students to develop the personal and professional skills required to help communicate effectively.

Television has broken out of its box and can now be delivered across the Internet. It can be watched on a range of devices anywhere a broadband network is received. The context of viewing is altered as consumers can now switch rapidly between watching TV, interacting with media-rich entertainment, social networking and using office tools.

If you have an interest in television production and in evolving forms of digital entertainment, or if you do not want to specialise and would like to experience a variety of digital media production then this is the programme for you.
