Multimedia technology studies educate graduates who are the intermediate link between artists (painter, screenwriter, director) and digital content published in the public space. During the first and second years of studies, the general competencies of multimedia technology students are developed, the knowledge of programming technologies, computer graphics and visual content creation, and application development principles are deepened. In the third year of multimedia studies, you can choose one of the two specializations offered: Digital Content Engineering or Game and Interactive Systems Programming.
After graduation, multimedia technologies students are able to create computer games, interactive 3D visual elements and effects, virtual and augmented reality, websites, video clips, animation, and other products used in the multimedia industry.
Due to close cooperation with companies during multimedia studies, the students have an opportunity for apprenticeship in television, companies engaged in creating games and other IT companies.
There is an opportunity to use modern hardware and equipment and free access to an audiovisual technology laboratory for broadcasting and digital content creation.
Only cooperation can improve the programme’s quality; therefore, unofficial cooperation between lecturers and students is encouraged, and additional official activity that allows achieving better results in the selected field of multimedia.
Are you interested in creating real products and services while studying? It is now possible to test yourself by getting involved in a product development project (PDP). During the project, you will work in teams, collaborating with KTU researchers and social partners. While solving current, relevant problems you will improve your teamwork, project management, and problem-solving skills, deepen professional knowledge and expand your career opportunities.
Knowledge and skills acquired during studies will allow:
| – Analyse, design and develop high-quality digital content; |
| – Analyse, design and develop interactive graphic interfaces and multimedia software; |
| – Develop computer games, their content, logic and mechanics; |
| – Develop and design applications for mobile platforms; |
| – Create game components based on artificial intelligence. |
Media content development technology specialist
| – creating or presenting complex graphics, animations and images of two-dimensional and three-dimensional moving objects using computer animation or modeling programmes; |
| – appropriate selection of visual and audio material, and proper tools for distribution; |
| – preparation of sketches, diagrams, illustrations and layouts for design concepts, presentation of design solutions. |
Video game developer
| – design and development of computer games using specialized frameworks and programming languages; |
| – installation and maintenance of the created products. |
Developer of multimedia applications and mobile apps
| – design and development of digital animation, photo, audio and video, multimedia applications; |
| – design and development of mobile applications; |
| – installation and maintenance of the created products. |
Website developer
| – design and development of websites, combining aesthetic image and user interface efficiency with speed and functionality requirements; |
| – installation, administration and maintenance of the created products. |
The main exclusiveness of the specialists of Multimedia Technologies is the ability to connect creative and technical subjects. These skills are well-appreciated in the modern-day IT business environment, where a special role is played by created technologies and their aesthetic representation. Complex technological solutions and abilities of their realisation are crucial and also the skills are extremely important to present them in an attractive, clear, and intuitive form. The need for interactive multimedia technologies and their specialists is growing.
I am working with web software security. I am happy that I had the opportunity to learn different subjects: physics, mathematics, and programming in different languages. The basis of such knowledge makes it easier to work, work possibilities are wider and it is easier to settle in the company. The acquired knowledge helps to understand the specifics of work of other IT employees (colleagues) and it is easier to work.
I greatly benefited from the fact that after starting the studies of Multimedia Technologies I was familiarised with work in television, creation of games, 3D modelling and this have not restricted me from work in that field only.
