BSc (Hons) Media Technology

The Media Technology course provides students with a broad-based programme of study that combines traditional media (such as audio, video and print technologies) with the technologies associated with new media (such as digital imaging, Internet and interactive multimedia).

By the third and final year of the course, students have gained a breadth of experience necessary to enable them to converge media and create innovative mixed media/multimedia works that strive to cross boundaries.

The students' practical experience on this course culminates with the Exhibition and Performance module, which provides them with an opportunity to develop a multimedia presentation for a public audience.

The shows on display in the main Auditorium have been developed specifically around an agreed theme. This year students are exploring the theme of 'Hidden Worlds', drawing upon audio, video, digital imaging, multimedia and 3D video and computer graphics technologies using a multi-screen format.

Many successful students have gone on to work in a diverse range of fields. Media Technology graduates have obtained jobs with Sony PlayStation, Off the Wall (video and multimedia), Transworld International and a range of website design companies. During the past year we have graduates working in Framestore, the BBC and Tiger Red (Exhibition & Events company). Many have gone on to become successful freelance web designers, multimedia producers, scriptwriters or trainers in the IT/media industries. Some students have also progressed onto higher degrees for example, in acoustics, composing for new media and computer arts.

Work will be presented as scheduled screenings at the Exhibition Hall and Auditorium.

Technical facilities for this part of the exhibition have been provided and sponsored by Barco Projection Systems and Dataton UK Ltd.
