Bachelor in Digital Media

The tuition fee is 13,363 USD per year.

Overview

Explore how digital technologies shape cultures, communities, and creativity around the world. This truly global degree offers an exciting opportunity to explore and participate in the digital transformation of cultures. The production and consumption of culture in the twenty-first century is refracted through digital technologies, and you will gain the skills and knowledge needed to appreciate how this is changing our understanding of the past, present, and future. You will not only analyze cultural and digital content but also create and publish it yourself, alongside developing a nuanced understanding of various cultural forms from around our increasingly globalized world, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Taught through a mixture of lectures, seminars, workshops, coursework, and independent study, this degree allows you to acquire knowledge and understanding of key issues in both digital media and global cultures. In addition, you will develop important academic skills (such as analysis, communication, and media literacy) and personal attributes (teamworking and independent researching, for example), all of which are essential to your future career aspirations. By learning how to identify and apply creative approaches and ideas across cultural differences as well as different media, you will be able to respond to employers' needs for skills in global awareness and intercultural competence.

Your progress is assessed in a variety of ways, including (but not limited to) presentations, essays, creative projects (including digital filmmaking), portfolios, reading diaries, and a final year project, which can be either research or practice-based – it’s your choice.
