The Graduate Program in Digital Media offers courses and opportunities for advanced training and research leading to the degrees of Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MSc), and Doctor of Philosophy. The Program is jointly offered by the Department of Computational Arts (CA), and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). Highly qualified students are provided with the opportunity to do specialised hybrid research work in a program that uniquely combines computational science and artistic practices. Work in digital media focuses on a broad range of current and emerging forms of digitally supported media, with applications that range from computer games to interactive art.
Across all three Digital Media graduate degrees, in their courses and project development, students work within a shared environment that enables them to develop expertise complementary to their research specialization in computational science or artistic practice.

Portfolio Requirements - A portfolio is required for entry into all programs. A portfolio shows evidence of prior creative outputs primarily in the form of artworks but could also include outputs from computer engineering-based projects. Projects represented in the portfolio should emphasize a cross-disciplinary approach. Examples of art-based portfolios could include drawings/images, audio recordings, sound compositions, video documentation of interactive systems, other gallery/curatorial documentation, games and interactive demonstrations but must include some works that utilize programming. Examples of computer engineering-based projects could include source code for applications (preferably interactive), games, microcontroller code (from physical computing), video documentation of projects, publications, and prototypes but must include some works that engage with the arts.
