Structure of the Interactive Media Courses

Year 1: Certificate in Interactive Media

The Certificate is aimed at students with a broad interest in computing, coupled with a strong creative ability and aims to provide a platform from which students may launch a career in Interactive Media.

 

Year 2: Diploma in Interactive Media

The Diploma builds on the skills acquired on the Certificate Programme and develops expertise in Interactive Media and Web Project Development.

 

Year 3: Advanced Diploma in Interactive Media

The Advanced Diploma builds on the skills learnt in earlier years, advancing the learner's expertise in Interactive Media through self-directed projects. An open-ended major project dominates much of the year's work. Learners exhibit their portfolio of Interactive Media at an end of the year exhibition. 

 

Graduate Diploma in Interactive Media & Web Development

The Graduate Diploma delivers the essential knowledge of both the Certificate and Diploma Programmes in one year. It necessarily presupposes a high level of motivation and achievement.
