Program Details

The BMPD offers a combination of intensive hands-on workshops and lecture courses that will provide you with a strong foundation in writing, developing, creating and producing fact-based narratives across various digital media formats. Develop skills in storytelling, computer programming, web design, video production, data management and visual communication. Build fundamental programming, online design skills, and thinking in the development and application of narratives. Design shapes how and what information is delivered to audiences, making “story” and “design” inseparable.

Learn the theories and ethics behind storytelling through courses focused on how different media can be used to increase public knowledge, awareness and civic engagement. BMPD will prepare you to ethically adapt and incorporate new and emerging technologies into your storytelling practices.

Small Class Sizes and Industry Collaboration

Many of your BMPD courses will focus on hands-on experiential learning within small class sections of under 30 students and include access to industry-standard software and equipment.

Interdisciplinary Program

BMPD is a collaborative and interdisciplinary degree between the Journalism program and the School of Information Technology. You’ll incorporate journalistic storytelling skills with design and programming skills and be at the forefront of transforming the ways we talk to each other and immerse ourselves in fact-based digital narratives.

Work Experience

The Co-op option allows you to work for 12 months starting in third year with media companies, online design and production houses, non-profit organizations and NGOs, corporations and governments in Ottawa and across the country. In fourth year, you will participate in a year-long Capstone project, working in a group to collaborate with a partner organization from the community to develop a large digital media project.
