Why this site? Home Page
Many university graduates would like to get more education in the
multimedia field (click
here for a definition in a new
browser window). As this is a relatively new area, students
looking for a Masters program would like to view several options before
making their choice, but may sometimes find it difficult to do so as
locating a link for a multimedia related course can be a very
time-consuming task; some universities make it easy to find course
links while others
require visitors to go through extreme search efforts before locating
what they need.
Please note that all MSc course links will open in a new browser window
(as it is
reasonable to assume visitors will open several links and explore each
one of them in some great detail).
This site is designed based on the following assumptions about its
visitors:
1. They have graduated or are almost finished with their first degree
(most likely a BS [Bachelor of Science] or equivalent) in a
computer-related discipline (such as Computer Science or Software
Engineering, and involving a lot of math and programming).
2. They want to continue their studies at postgraduate Masters level
(most likely an MSc [Master of Science] degree) in the United Kingdom
(England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) in a
multimedia-related
field.
3. They do not have the time for registering, fancy graphics,
excessive java, cookies, pretty pictures or anything else to waste
time (but there are hosting service and some other advertisements
at the bottom; if you do click on them and take up any of
those services is up to you!) and want an almost text-only, fast
to load site with links that work (checked regularly but do
let us know if any of them do not work any more).
What types of courses are listed here?
This site is a private project, and by no means lists everything that
is
out there or will be out there. Courses included here must meet
the following criteria:
1. They are offered at Masters postgraduate level by a university
in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) and require
students to regularly attend classes and exams in the UK (we do not
list distance learning courses). An MSc or MA degree must be
awarded to successful students on completion.
2. They have a course-specific page (in the .ac.uk domain, some
with more details than others) that can be accessed directly without
the need to go through the home page of the university offering the
course.
3. The courses are already running (i.e. students have already
been enrolled) and are open to new applications (we exclude courses
which have been discontinued or courses planned for the future which
have not yet started accepting applicants or where the first year of
teaching has not yet began). If any course is listed in error,
the
link will be removed from the site at the first available opportunity.
