The MSc in Creative Digital Media & UX is a taught conversion Masters course run by the School of Media at TU Dublin, City Campus. The course provides a thorough grounding in the core skills and knowledge of digital media technologies and offers specialist production techniques that equip graduates with a valuable set of technical and design skills that remain highly relevant to a range digital media industries.
The course is designed to advance students' employment potential and addresses the specific needs of employment in the digital media industry. It is also suitable as a foundation for pursuing a career in digital media research.
A fundamental benefit of this programme is the exposure students receive to multiple rounds of design, production and testing cycles in both the taught elements and in the self-realised Major Project. These hands-on experiences in design thinking result in the students producing functional apps that are pragmatic, grounded and user oriented from the outset.
Step changes in the understanding of UX occur for our students as they progress from making sketched designs, through small functional mobile apps/games, to testing fully-functional data-connected interactive apps on users own devices.
Meeting, understanding and designing to solve real-world development challenges give our graduates the skills to join design and development teams in a variety of roles and the confidence to lead end-to-end UX solutions for their products.
