 Digital Media is increasing and there is a multitude of devices now that can deliver such media. Whilst studying Multimedia Computing, you will become specialist in creating and converting digital media. This will include 2D and 3D graphics, video, animation and audio. You will make media suitable and useable for all areas of computing including computer based delivery, games, DVD, web, special effects, and mobile devices. You will also gain skills in areas of multimedia design, computing to enable back-end systems to interact with media. You will look at many areas where multimedia is used such as education, advertising and entertainment. You will use the latest software such as the Adobe Master Collection Suite, Microsoft Expression Suite and 3D modelling software such as 3DS Max. 
This subject area can also be taken as a top-up to convert an HND to a degree.

Applied Multimedia Systems covers the design and development of multimedia systems integrating many forms of media. With the increasing power of information technology and the increasing demands of users for appealing and interactive accessible applications, the person able to produce appropriate multimedia systems will be much in demand.
