The BSc Multimedia Computing aims to give students the opportunity to develop a specific knowledge and understanding of the technical aspects of multimedia systems and their applications, alongside a grounding in computer science. The course is taught jointly with the Department of Electronic Imaging and Media Communications. Honours students will be enabled by the course to demonstrate the ability to propose, plan, take responsibility for and evaluate Multimedia-related projects in a professional manner.

Multimedia Computing is a subject where current practices in the field are changing rapidly as technologies evolve and new programming languages emerge. However, the underlying theory and principles do not change rapidly. You will study these fundamentals and learn how to apply them to the analysis of problems and how to plan, implement and evaluate the solutions. You will learn about new technologies and their multimedia applications. In order to achieve the learning outcomes you will develop the following:

• Knowledge and understanding: a systematic understanding of the fundamental concepts and theories of computer science including detailed knowledge of hardware, computer architecture, information and communication technologies; a firm grasp of the mathematical foundations of computing and how they underpin the formal specification and design of multimedia applications; ability to write programs for computer graphics and virtual reality environments.
  
  
• Discipline Specific Skills including; how to analyse problems and develop solutions using leading edge ideas and techniques; how to develop computer programs using object oriented programming languages; how to develop applications for the World Wide Web; how to choose which programming languages to use for specific applications; an ability to manage and/or contribute to a team approach to software engineering projects; an ability to compare and contrast commercial packages across a range of media forms; competence in the use of major software application packages.
  
  
• Personal and Transferable Skills: exercise of initiative in information management, interpretation and presentation; ability to make decisions in a variety of contexts; application of IT and communications skills to management problems; report writing and presentation skills; creative and systematic problem solving; teamwork and leadership; project management; and personal management
