This program of concentrated study provides a study program, by coursework and individual practice over one year full-time (or equivalent part-time), in the use of new digital sound and / or image technologies for artistic, commercial or scientific perceptualisation purposes. Whilst developing technical facility, the underlying principle of the program is the development of aesthetic sensibilities in the artistic use of computers.

Students may specialise in Interactive Digital Media or Computer Music. Through its affiliation with other disciplines in the College of Arts & Social Sciences opportunities are also provided for interdisciplinary studies.
