New media degree for the ‘iPod generation’
I’ve taken this piece directly from Cambridge News Online UK:
Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge is launching a BSc honours degree in new media production technology, or services and content for the “iPod generation”.
First students will start the new course in September, mixing creativity with practical technology.
Course leader, Dr Tim Rowsell, said: “The rapid decline in the cost of digital cameras and audio equipment, along with the rise in broadband use in the UK has led to a marked rise in new media production and consumption.
“Many new companies are expanding to exploit these opportunities, however, in order to pursue a career in these creative industries there is need for both technical and creative skills, which this degree is designed to provide.”
The degree course will include live streaming, studio recording, video post-production and effects, DVD production, workshops on commercial software, and satellite and mobile technology.
