Digital Media is a vibrant and crucial field that fuels social change and ignites creative expression in todays world. Our Digital Media BA covers a diverse range of topics - from Data and Design to Social Media Cultures, and from Content Creation to Audience and User Research - offering you a comprehensive blend of critical, creative, and professional approaches. You will gain the critical tools, innovative insights, and cutting-edge techniques necessary to both understand and shape the ever-evolving digital media landscape throughout your career.

Delve into the theory behind digital media, exploring the critical frameworks and methods that reveal its profound impact on society, while also honing the creative and professional skills necessary to produce compelling digital content across various formats. This dual approach empowers you to become a thoughtful and responsible digital citizen, capable of making a positive impact on individuals and communities through your work.

Our Digital Media degree is structured around three core elements:

the analysis and research of digital platforms and content

and the hands-on creative practice of digital media content creation.

You will explore how these areas interconnect, gaining insights into how knowledge in one influences the others, fostering a holistic understanding of the digital media ecosystem.
