About BSc in Computing in Multimedia Programming
Application: CAO
What is Multimedia Programming?
Multimedia
(or digital media) is a dynamic and ever-evolving industry that offers
excellent career opportunities for talented students. It refers to the use of
different types of audiovisual data, or media, in computer applications. These
media include images, animations, video clips and sound clips.
Multimedia
Programming refers to the creation and development of these multimedia computer
applications. Examples include: computer games, web sites, mobile applications
and e-learning applications.
You
will learn the skills and knowledge required to work in the busy IT industry.
You will study computer programming (using Java), and how computers and the
Internet work. You will also study specific multimedia subjects, including web
development, and multimedia design and programming. The concepts required to
create complex multimedia applications are just as important, and this often
requires the use of applied mathematics concepts, such as using the theory of
velocity, acceleration and friction to plot the motion of a car in a computer
game.
AT IADT,
you will develop the personal and professional skills to work as a mature,
self-confident professional in the IT industry, and specifically the
multimedia/digital media sector. The programme provides students with a specialisation
in the technical design and implementation of complex multimedia systems.
Aims and Objectives
What will I be able to do when I graduate?
Most graduates opt to progress to DL142, IADT’s
BSc (Honours) in Computing in
Multimedia Systems / Web Engineering (Level 8 Award). You can also continue
your studies at Honours Degree level in other institutions of Higher Education
in Ireland or overseas.
What modules will I study?
Year 1
Computer
Technology, Web Programming I, Programming, Multimedia Authoring I, Digital
Media Production Techniques, Computer Modelling I, Contemporary Issues in
Multimedia
Year 2
Web
Programming II, Software Production, Computer Architecture and Operating
Systems, Algorithms and Data Structures, Multimedia Authoring and Design,
Database Management Systems, Web Design, Video and 3-D Modelling Production
Year 3
Object-Oriented
Programming and Design, Computer Modelling II, Computer Networks and
Distributed Systems, Multimedia Programming, Digital Media Entrepreneurship
Students also choose one option
from either:
an individual project or
The IDEA Project combined with Multimedia Programming Practice.
Are there any costs for materials and/or field trips?
The
expenditure in this programme is of €50 approximately per year. You will have
to purchase USB sticks, CD-Rom, DVDs, headphones, microphones, etc. It would be
desirable that students could purchase their own digital camera. Cost could
vary from €100 to €400.
What are the Entry Requirements?
Leaving
Certificate Examination (or equivalent) with a minimum of grade D (at Ordinary
Level) in five subjects which must include Mathematics and English. Foundation
Level Maths is not acceptable.
Any FETAC level 5 and level 6 Award may be used for
application to this programme. Please note that you require at least a pass
(D3) in Ordinary Level Maths in the Leaving Certificate or a pass in a
mathematical methods module as part of your FETAC Award.
We welcome
applications from mature students, who must apply to the CAO.
