Multimedia degrees abroad

Multimedia is a diverse subject that covers the use of a wide range of methods of producing things like art and media. As a multimedia student, you’ll learn how to create engaging and cutting-edge content using the latest techniques and state-of-the-art software.

Depending on which areas you choose to focus on, you’ll get the chance to develop skills in video editing and production, web design and development, programming, and photography. You will also explore how our relationship with media and technology has evolved, and how it will change in the future.

As an international student studying multimedia abroad, you’ll put yourself in a great position to pursue a range of exciting opportunities after graduation. You’ll get to see and experience first-hand how different media technologies and channels are handled around the world, giving you a unique perspective on the subject.

Multimedia program structure

You can study a multimedia degree at a range of levels including undergraduate and postgraduate. At undergraduate level, foundation or diploma degrees are available, which usually last a year. These programs are ideal if you need extra qualifications to get onto a bachelor’s program, or if you’re looking to start entry-level employment in a multimedia career.

At the bachelor’s level, most multimedia programs are available as a BA qualification, but some offer a BSc qualification. This will usually depend on the precise focus and make-up of the program, for example, a design focussed course may be offered as a BSc.

Bachelor’s programs usually last three or four years of full-time study. If you choose to study in the US, you’ll study over four years and have the opportunity to learn a range of subjects before declaring your major in multimedia.

If you already have a bachelor’s degree in a related field, you can choose to study a master’s program. These are designed to further develop your skills and knowledge, often in a more specific area than your bachelor’s. A master’s program usually takes one or two years to complete, and you will be expected to do more independent research.

Multimedia programs cover a diverse range of topics and skills, so you can expect to learn through a variety of methods including lectures, workshops, seminars, and practical sessions. Assessment will vary for each module you take, but you’ll likely face project work, essays, exams, and often a portfolio of your work.

The programs structure and content will vary a lot depending on the exact title of your multimedia program, but here are some common modules most courses will cover:

  • Digital content creation
  • Graphic design
  • Web development
  • Media, journalism, and society
  • Media law
  • Communication research methods
  • Multimedia storytelling
  • Digital and internet policy
