Location of University of Greenwich
Over the last decade the multimedia and entertainment sector, including web design and development and computer games, has grown to be a multi-billion-dollar global industry employing thousands of computer programmers, designers and multimedia specialists.
Looking at the requirement of the multimedia industry, it is clear that, although traditional programming expertise is still needed, the industry requires a new range of skills that traditional computer science graduates lack, including the understanding of user interfaces and user requirements, a knowledge of graphics, animation and virtual reality, and a proficiency in audio and video production techniques.
This programme helps students to understand the fundamentals of software development, computer systems and multimedia development. Students also develop skills in related technologies such as user interfaces, graphics and audio-visual production techniques. Additionally, they develop personal and professional skills to help them communicate effectively.
Career options
Graduates have opportunities in the multimedia industry providing computing input and technological support to multimedia production. Additionally, they can find employment in many mainstream computing areas, such as IT support and consultancy, and Internet and e-commerce applications. Graduates can work as independent consultants or with other computing and creative industries professionals to build and support modern multimedia computing systems.
