Using the integration of sound, video, text and graphics in a digital environment, multimedia is set to become the medium of choice for the 21st century. The full-time course equips students to become accomplished Multimedia Designers to take advantage of the countless opportunities offered in the workplace. The course offers both the theory and practice of Multimedia Communication. The focus is on the practical application of these skills in the workplace. Practical projects form the basis of student portfolios.
Teamwork is encouraged and students learn to work in groups to complete their projects.
The first year of the Multimedia Design Programme consists of four subjects that are distributed into various aspects of four modules. Each term makes up a module and will focus on a specific area of multimedia design. The first year specialises in paper-based training and incorporating that design into a digital format. This module focuses strongly on basic design concepts and computer skills. Students produce a magazine layout, and a corporate identity project.
