Program description
The Master of Media Design is a progressive postgraduate degree program centered on the principles and application of Media Design. This curriculum focuses on the design thinking processes that inform the creation and transmission of media works, artifacts, and projects, rather than graphic design itself. It seeks to equip individuals to influence the future of the media industry through strategic, user-focused, and innovative methodologies for producing media artifacts that possess value, utility, and significance in contemporary society.
This degree enables students to master the design of individual media projects while simultaneously learning to design processes, workflows, and systems, taking into account the interdependence of components within a larger communication ecosystem, both in society and globally. Our objective is to cultivate progressive media design professionals capable of navigating the intricacies of the swiftly evolving media ecosystem and contributing to the field through thoughtful, innovative, and powerful work and media artifacts.
Graduates of this degree will become leaders in the media and creative sectors, employing media design concepts to effect change within the industry and society, with an emphasis on user-centered methodologies for creative problem-solving and media production. As industry experts, you will excel at converting abstract ideas into captivating media experiences, influencing the future of media creation, consumption, and interaction with individuals and the surrounding environment.
