The modern world is driven by multimedia content delivered across a range of platforms such as mobile phones, personal video recorders and interactive television. This course has been designed to give you a firm grounding in skills required to support such content and delivery mechanisms with taught modules such as information management, mobile commerce systems and 3D graphics, specialising towards video production, virtual studio design, and multimedia systems. A strong emphasis is placed on hands-on expertise of practical techniques and transferability of skills throughout the course. Graduates from this course acquire the skills required for employment in the modern media, IT, software and business sectors.
Course Structure
Students on both the MSc in Social Network Technologies and Multimedia Production and Distribution are required to complete six taught modules selected from a set of options, which vary dependant upon the specific scheme of study undertaken, plus a project dissertation. Projects feature one- to-one supervision with a member of academic staff and can be research-led or with one of our industrial partners to allow you to gain valuable experience of commercially driven projects and an introduction to a potential employer.
The courses run in “block mode” with each module block consisting of one week intensive classroom contact followed by two weeks of laboratory based assignments which are designed to complement and clarify the taught component.
170 Science and Technology
Laurent Mathy Professor of Network and Internet Systems
“The Internet is undeniably playing a central and crucial role in our society. It is as critical to work and business, as education, entertainment and the social life of countless people. However, the Internet is also a victim of its own success - its size and scope render the introduction and deployment of new network technologies and services very difficult. Stronger security, better mobility support, enhanced reliability, increased availability and more robust service guarantees are just a few examples of areas where innovation is needed to meet the increasing demands on the network.”
“The School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster fosters an applied system research culture, whereby large and complex networked and distributed systems are built, tested and evaluated to produce experimental research results of the highest quality and gain a deep understanding of systems behaviour. This view of systems permeates throughout our Post Graduate offerings; affording students with a unique learning experience based on practical and pragmatic knowledge and concepts, ready to be applied in the real world.”
“We offer a dynamic research and learning environment where all postgraduate students are exposed to current research questions driven by world- leading academics and/or industrial partners.”
