利兹大学:新媒体专业
You'll touch on a range of web languages such as HTML, CSS, PHP, WordPress and JavaScript in order to open up how we think about digital media. No experience of the practical skills are required, but some knowledge is desirable. You'll critically examine the relationship between new media and contemporary culture and the interactive forms and practices that are emerging, and you'll gain some practical production, project management and critical skills through group work tasks and by responding to new media briefs in team-based collaborative projects.
You'll then have the chance to broaden your approach with your choice of optional modules, from photography and cinematics to political communication, television narratives and public relations in society.
You'll complete a written dissertation, using the digital methods and skills you've learnt, applying these to a critical research issue.
If you choose to study part-time, you’ll complete the course over two years, instead of one, taking fewer modules each year
