In the first year, the curriculum is shared across related courses allowing you to gain a broad grounding in the discipline before going on, in the second and third years, to specialist modules in your chosen field.

Modules

  • This module aims to develop your skills in a range of specialist fields through applied practice. It will introduce you to analogue and digital tools and methods used to produce artefacts in the creative industries. You will receive specialist skills training in their field of study.

    Compulsory

  • This is an intensive real-world simulation module where you will address a live industry brief (either commercial, artistic, social or cultural) with a problem to solve. By the end of the module, you will create a ‘rapid prototype’ solution that can be presented to the client or wider public. You will learn project management techniques, working to a creative brief, collaboration and problem-solving, while applying specialist skills within a larger project.

    Compulsory

  • This module explores complex specialist skills developed in the creative field of study. You should develop an understanding of professional approaches to processes through the application of skills. The focus of development will be on 2D and 3D visualisation and their application. You will also be introduced to personal development planning and supported to become reflective learners through seminar work.

    Compulsory

  • This module will investigate the effects of evolving forms of media and technology on storytelling across creative industries. It will examine traditional approaches to narrative in the context of new and emerging forms of storytelling such as games, virtual production, interactive web experiences, and immersive production. This module should enable you to think about the way that networked culture has enabled new forms of storytelling and creative design.

    Compulsory

  • This module will introduce you to the contemporary creative industries landscape, exploring theoretical and professional foundations in the practice of digital design and development in games, digital media, animation, VFX, and related fields. The module will explore approaches to production within the context of the creative industries, focusing on roles and responsibilities, production processes, and pipelines and workflows.

    Compulsory

  • This module aims to encourage you to explore ideas development through practical exercises. This module will introduce you to problem analysis, including brainstorming, the use of genres within the creative industries, prototyping, virtual production, design elements and the synthesis of these skills within visualisation techniques and the presentation of these concepts to the given audience.

    Compulsory

In year two, you will continue to develop the skills and knowledge you’ve learnt. We do this by embedding the following four principles into the curriculum and developing your:

  • Technical skills - digital fluency, backed with the right academic knowledge
  • Study skills - to be an adaptive, independent and proactive learner
  • Professional skills - to have the behaviour and abilities to succeed in your career
  • Global awareness - the beliefs and abilities to be a resilient, confident and motivated global citizen

You will develop more advanced knowledge and skills to do with: how digital media impacts society, digital media formats and content creation, amongst others.

Modules

  • Understanding how the digital has impacted the social, cultural, political, and economic landscape in contemporary society is crucial for digital media practitioners. This module aims to provide a broad introduction to contemporary issues underpinning digital media and digital technologies and theoretical approaches to their study. It is both concerned with the traditions of cultural studies enquiry and informed by more recent theoretical developments, all the while underpinned by a material, 'skills-informed' approach to research.

    Compulsory

  • Content creation in digital media spans formats, from traditional cinema and video games to new and emerging technologies such as extended reality (XR). This module will explore how the intersection of media forms has created new ways to tell and circulate stories. You will analyse a range of approaches to contemporary storytelling, looking at how ‘official’ narratives are remixed, retold and circulated by fans. You will focus on narrative and discursive theory in relation to diverse storytelling forms, drawing on processes and examples from film, interactive media, gaming, immersive and participatory media.

    Compulsory

  • Digital technologies have changed the way that marketing, communications and campaigning function, and have introduced new and evolving digital media approaches to these fields. This module will enable you to explore and use a range of concepts and practices from the area of digital marketing and campaigning. You will engage with live industry or community briefs for local, national, or international collaborators, and will explore the potential, pitfalls and possibilities of how the content creation industry has informed, changed and developed digital marketing within a contemporary digital society.

    Compulsory

  • Immersive content creation across both traditional and experimental formats is a growing area of practice. This is an intensive real-world simulation module where you will build an extended reality (XR) cinematic or interactive experience from a mixture of original and acquired 3D assets, animations, captured audio and video footage, and recorded sound for programming within game engine for VR, AR, or projection mapping.

    It builds on the skills acquired in your first year of creative technologies by enabling further development of your creative, communication and design skills and applying them to a real-world project. You will apply your accumulated experiences from your second year of studies to the planning and production of various artifacts within a specified timescale and in response to a specified brief. You will use this experience to further develop the skills – theoretical, contextual, practical, research and creative - that you have developed over the year to prepare for enquiry-led work that you will be undertaking in your final year.

    Compulsory

  • Engaging in Professional Practice offers you the opportunity to develop skills and to foster flexible and adaptable approaches towards employment and professional opportunities. Where appropriate, you will be encouraged to start your digital media practice as the first step towards your professional career. You will be offered support in this process and will learn about managing yourself as a professional in the future, which will require you to adopt a portfolio career. You will develop your self-presentation skills including CV writing, effective interview techniques, and personal portfolios. You will explore organisations in creative industries and your preferred fields of practice.

    Compulsory

  • In this module, you will work with students from courses across the School of Media and Performing Arts and/or industry collaborators, external groups or organisations to respond to an issue in the local, national or global community. You will work collaboratively with fellow students in defined roles that reflect industry practice in your area of study but will also develop skills in management and organisation by taking an active role in the project from start to end.

    Compulsory

There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement2 can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.

If you choose to do a work placement year, you will pay a reduced tuition fee3 of £1,250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement.

Modules

  • This module2 provides you with an opportunity to reflect upon and gain experience for an approved placement undertaken during your programme. A placement should usually be at least 26 weeks or equivalent; however, each placement will be considered on its own merits, having regard to the ability to achieve the learning outcomes.

    Optional

  • This module2 provides you with an opportunity to reflect upon and gain experience for an approved international study/work placement undertaken during your programme. A work/study placement should usually be at least 26 weeks or equivalent; however, each placement will be considered on its own merits, having regard to the ability to achieve the learning outcomes.

    Optional

Year three aims to bring you to the level to enter the world of work by consolidating your knowledge and skills from year one and two. You could also work on a large final project in an area of your interest, with the support of a mentor.

You will have the opportunity to choose between two optional modules in your final year, ‘Immersive Production and Experimental Praxis’ and ‘Creative Application Design and Development’ to total 120 credits.

Modules

  • This module enables you to deepen your critical understanding of the specificities of cultural, communication and media forms and the discourses surrounding them. The module focuses upon the relationship between the production and consumption of cultural, communication and media texts and explores the often-complex relationships between these 'texts', the determinants of their production, the narratives they convey and the meanings their audiences read into these narratives.

    Compulsory

  • This is where you refine your identity as a digital media practitioner. In this module, you will build on the skills and reflection developed earlier in the course and the trajectory of your current practice. You will examine the breadth of possible digital media opportunities including organisational employment, freelancing, and writing creative grant applications for careers in digital media and creative technologies.

    Compulsory

  • This module develops the research and development skills necessary to ideate, develop and propose a creative digital media project. Building on knowledge and skills acquired during the course you will use this module to develop a research proposal which will form the basis for your final media project.

    The speculative futures are where these projects aim to exist, while being informed by creative, experimental and at times radical project development.

    Compulsory

  • This module allows you to fully realise the role immersive technology and experimental praxis plays within digital media. This is a laboratory-style module designed to allow you to experiment with the latest immersive and interactive digital media technologies to facilitate cross-cultural and socio-political communication. The module takes advantage of resources from the university’s new immersive studio laboratories featuring the latest expertise in collaborative, computing and display technologies for data visualization, modelling, and simulation.

The module allows for creative exploration in a variety of spaces such as multiplayer connected experiences, locative audio, augmented reality, immersive storytelling, 3D web design, pervasive medium, and interactive creations.

    Optional

  • This module gives you the opportunity to gain and produce substantial practical and professional experience in one or more areas of digital media research and practice. You will further develop and realise the ideas generated within the Research: Speculative Futures and Digital Histories module. Your digital media project will culminate in an extensive body of work or practice using your chosen form, or forms, of specialist digital media practice and theory.

    Compulsory

We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students. For these reasons, course modules may be updated.

We live in a world today where we breathe the digital. From the moment we wake up to the moment we fall asleep at night, it’s everywhere. The digital has become a membrane between us, and our idea of what reality can be. Digital media as a course explores this new digital reality and tries to pierce through the digital membrane to explore how reality has been changed and transformed by these creative technologies. We approach it at creative professionals and researchers who want to understand this new reality and unleash its potentials. We first understand it and then we play with it. Whether it’s through an immersive production, a digital marketing campaign, or a transmedia narrative experience.

How you'll learn

Your course will focus on areas such as immersive, transmedia, and digital storytelling, creative coding, web design, web coding, animation, digital marketing, and digital culture.

Students successfully completing the first two years of the course can opt to spend a year out between the second and third years on placement or study abroad2.

Your personal tutor will regularly review and discuss your progress on the course. We aim for you to develop through activity-led learning, with an emphasis on live projects, industry briefs, real-world working simulations, experimentation and play. You will also have the opportunity to take part in international trips2 where you will be able to develop your knowledge and skills through fieldwork and group projects. Previous students had the opportunity to participate in creating and hosting an immersive experience enhanced by augmented reality in Hong Kong together with students from the Hong Kong Design Institute2.


Teaching contact hours

We understand that everyone learns differently, so each of our courses will consist of structured teaching sessions, which can include:

  • On campus lectures, seminars and workshops
  • Group work
  • Self-directed learning
  • Work placement opportunities2

The number of full-time contact hours may vary from semester to semester, however, on average, it is likely to be around 12 contact hours per week in the first and second year dropping to around 10-12 contact hours per week in the third and final year as you become a more independent learner.

Additionally, you will be expected to undertake significant self-directed study of approximately 15 hours each week, depending on the demands of individual modules.

Part of university life is undertaking self-directed learning. During a typical week you will have time that allows you to work independently to apply the skills and knowledge you have learnt in taught or facilitated sessions to your projects or assignment briefs. This self-directed learning allows you to use your research skills, consolidate your knowledge or undertake collaborative group work.

As an innovative and enterprising institution, the university may seek to utilise emerging technologies within the student experience. For all courses (whether on-campus, blended, or distance learning), the university may deliver certain contact hours and assessments via online technologies and methods.

Since COVID-19, we have delivered our courses in a variety of forms, in line with public authority guidance, decisions, or orders and we will continue to adapt our delivery as appropriate. Whether on campus or online, our key priority is staff and student safety.


Assessment

This course will be assessed using a variety of methods which will could vary depending upon the module. Assessment methods include

  • Practical or project work
  • Coursework
  • Essays
  • Presentations and posters

The Coventry University Group assessment strategy ensures that our courses are fairly assessed and allows us to monitor student progression towards the achieving the intended learning outcomes. Assessments may include exams, individual assignments or group work elements.


International experience opportunities

We aim to encourage students to broaden their horizons by taking advantage of either study abroad or placement opportunities2. Our students may also have the opportunity to go on field trips or international trips2. Past trips have included Berlin, New York, Hong Kong, and Barcelona. These are often combined with industry or community projects on location in the international destination. Last year a group of our previous final year students had the opportunity to work on the AR Prison Break project and present this immersive experience using augmented reality at the Spark Festival in Hong Kong.

I like the Digital Media course because we are given a lot of opportunities to experiment with a wide variety of technologies in different fields, which I find helpful in figuring out the industry I want to work in after I graduate. There are also a lot of opportunities outside the course which are helpful in terms of applying the skills and knowledge from the course to a real-life project and expanding your professional network of contacts.
