Master of Digital Media

A sixteen month internationally recognized, research informed and industry relevant professional graduate program that engages students in the development of digital media products.

What Is Digital Media?

Digital media is content that is stored in digital formats and usually distributed online. The shift from traditional media has taken place in many industries, including industries that arenโ€™t typically associated with digital mediaโ€”such as health, government and education.

Digital Media industries are unique in that they are the intersection of art, design, business and engineering.
