Course Overview
This course forms part of our Software Systems Framework. When applying through UCAS you should use the course code GW42.
Students have the opportunity of completing Cisco CCNA certification courses during this degree course at the BU Cisco Certified Local Networking Academy.
This exciting course emphasises the technical aspects of digital media developments, such as the principles of storage of large digital objects and the retrieval and distribution of media, such as streaming media over networks.
The design and development of state-of-the-art storage and delivery methods for digital content is changing the nature of the communications arena at a rapid pace. This is because product developments enhance creativity and develop capability in the areas of new media.
You will acquire these principles and skills by studying the nature of modern digital communication and graphics systems in detail. The study of digital animations is the vehicle for learning the principles and practices of interaction, as well as games programming.
This course forms part of the Bournemouth University Software Systems Framework of courses, allowing you to change your choice of course within the Framework to best suit your needs.
The richness of careers in the IT industry means that students are not always clear about which area they wish to specialise in before they join us. Some do not decide until they reach the final year. With this in mind, we have designed this Framework to have a common first year and a second year which is largely common. This design gives you exposure to a variety of modern technologies and techniques, before you make your final decision. The first two years cover those areas we know to be foundational for all professionals in this field, in addition year two enables a measure of specialism. In the final year, you have the opportunity to specialise further or to keep your education broader and more general.
