About Us
When you join the School of Digital Media Technology, you will be welcomed into a close-knit community of students and digital media experts that offers students a supportive, inclusive environment where diversity is encouraged and nurtured.
The popularity of our courses has attracted more than 700 full-time students and more than 240 part-time students, and these numbers continue to grow year on year.
Skillset Media Academy
We are a recognised Media Academy - a centre of excellence in television and interactive media. Our success is the result of a careful balance between teaching, participation in research and consultancy activities and close ties with industry.
The School is also accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology in recognition of the expertise offered by an academic and research team made up of both academics and media industry professionals. This, coupled with a strong focus on industry placements, has led to our exceptional track record for graduate employability.
Our courses
We offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in a wide range of subjects and although we are committed to a flexible, multi-disciplinary approach, all our courses have a strong sense of individual purpose underpinned by both practical and academic activities.
Each course has been carefully developed to meet the needs of both students and prospective employers, and we are regularly looking for ways to improve and update the teaching provision offered here.
We are committed to creating an effective student learning environment that will produce highly competent media technologists who can continue to develop not only themselves but also the wider industry. To this aim, we place a strong emphasis on problem-solving, teamwork and wider appreciation of industry issues, as well as practical and theoretical knowledge.
A caring and proactive culture, together with first-rate facilities and a programme of continuous staff development provides one of the best possible learning experiences you could wish for.
