Why Study Multimedia Design Technology as part of a Combined Honours Degree?
Developments in multimedia raise questions about the character of communication, entertainment, education, work, the economy and our identities and communities. Multimedia grows out of the convergence of industries (telecommunications, computing and media); disciplines (IT, design and media communications); and technological forms (IT systems and networks, hardware and software, sound, text and moving and still image). Multimedia therefore requires individuals with skills different from those currently provided by traditional courses in media, design and IT, as knowledge of all these areas is required for multimedia.
