Radio, television, music, films and computers inform
and amuse us - effortlessly, instantly, clearly, and
all at the touch of a button. Media and multimedia
technologies pervade technologies become more
sophisticated, as the boundaries overlap, blur and
disappear, so we will be able to experience more ideas
in new and unexpected ways. Multimedia is about
conveying information effectively and efficiently
through the integrated use of different media: text,
audio, graphics, animation, video and human-computer
interaction. Multimedia techniques have numerous
application areas, including entertainment, education,
commerce, engineering, medicine and scientific
research.
But how do these technologies work? What makes them
tick? How are they going to develop in the future?
Digital electronic, computing and communications
technologies form the tangible products we use, to
gather information, record, interpret and store the
data to present the finished product. But the creative
element is often hidden in the software. The
interaction between the hardware and the software is
the crucial element defining the way these products
will evolve and which will be successful.
MULTIMEDIA
TECHNOLOGY
The Multimedia Technology program starts with the
scientific and technical principles of media capture
and computer representation, coupled with the methods
of operation and application of the computer software
and systems that enable delivery of multimedia
productions. This central core is complemented with
study of a broad range of technologies and processes
that support multimedia systems and the delivery of
multimedia productions, e.g. computer software design,
computer system organization, the Internet, commercial
and scientific information management.
Graduates in Multimedia Technology will be ready for a
rewarding career as a technical professional adaptable
to wide range of opportunities in the design and
application of information communication systems based
on software technologies.

MULTIMEDIA
DIGITAL SYSTEMS
In contrast Multimedia Digital Systems complements
study of multimedia principles and software by
progressively focusing on the hardware technology and
discovering how digital electronic designs allow
multimedia products to be delivered. Students will
consider the theory and practice of digital electronic
systems design and see how this provides audio, video
and interactive multimedia environments.
As a result students can expect to become a
practitioner able to understand and contribute an
integrated view of the hardware technology and
creative software involved in areas as diverse as
video networks, interactive entertainment, music,
television and film recording studios, multimedia
Internet sites and immersive virtual reality
simulation.
