Entry requirements
Experience in digital media, user interface development and user interaction design is particularly valuable. Experience in an application domain (health care, business information, retail) is also relevant.
Exceptionally, applicants may have no first degree but more than five years working in information technology, the creative industries or humanities. In these circumstances, an online portfolio/PDF of design and digital work (and a description of your design process) should be included as a link in your personal statement.
Possible weakness in the undergraduate degree may be compensated with relevant work experience. Other evidence that you are motivated and able to study at this level, demonstrated through qualifications and portfolios of work, will be considered.
The typical offer for this course is a 2:2 or above honours degree or equivalent in art and design, computer science, or humanities. Other relevant undergraduate degrees include graphic design, communication design, interactive media, information technology, psychology, and ethnography
