Interactive Digital Media (IDM)

Developments in technology such as apps and the internet are increasing the interactive design field, and have created a new way for consumers to find information and interact with their selected networks.

Our graduates are multi-skilled and broadly capable, greatly increasing their employment opportunities. Many games projects are being funded by government which has developed as a strong support to the industry.
