Media, IKT og design
The target group for the bachelor’s degree programme Media, ICT and Design are students with an interest for communicational, technical and esthetical aspects in using different media. The primary purpose of the programme of study is to educate competence mediators linking technique and content production, by offering a broad vocational education where theoretical, analytical, technical and practical approaches relating to media and communication in public sector, trade and industry are combined. The programme is particularly suited for students wanting to work with media-related tasks in high schools, or who want to be qualified for different projects in media production, media design or media communication in different sectors.The programme of study has a unique academic structure where students address both media’s function as social agent and intermediary, and how to communicate with different target groups. Through theory and the production of different forms of media such as photography, film, multiple-camera set up, commercials, illustrations, sound, web and multimedia, the programme of study will provide you with pedagogical, aesthetic and technical competence in digital production in a social and converging media age. The programme of study may, in combination with other subjects or a minimum of two years vocational experience and an additional 1-year programme in educational theory and practice, qualify students to teach in academic institutions.

After a joint first academic year, every student must choose a specialization in media design, media production or media development:Media production: The student focuses on visual media such as film, photo and multiple-camera set up production. Media design: Specializes in designing different mediums, and seek to strengthen students’ graphical eye and ability to channel this into creating different media products.Media development: Teaches students to programme and design websites and applications for mobiles or mobile web.The programme of study will initially cover all mediums, but in both the theoretical and practical parts of the study new electronic and web-based media will be emphasized. The field of study is quickly evolving and the programme is in constant need of revision. In addition to what is presented in the course table, students will be able to choose elective courses at VUC or other institutions matching their specialization. This is done with the help of a bachelor’s coordinator.Note that the bachelor’s degree must contain a minimum of 30 credits from another subject area. See Study and examination regulations at Volda University College, Chapter 2. Degrees, §2-1. See course tables for further information on the course of study.

For auka kvalitet og kontinuitet i studiet krev vi at studentane stiller med eigen bærbar PC som er kapabel til mediearbeid, samt minnekort (SD) til bruk i kamera/lydutstyr. Høgskulen har i tillegg ein godt utstyrt maskinpark tilgjengelig for studentane til spesialformål. Studentarbeid som blir produsert og dokumentert i løpet av studiet vil kunne bli brukt som døme ved seinare kurs, eller i skulen sin informasjon om eigne aktivitetar, dersom ikkje studenten skriftleg motsett seg dette.
The programme of study includes observational practice and internal and external project and production practice depending on the student’s specialization. Further guidelines for professional training in each academic year will be given at the start of the semester.
4. semester består av eitt obligatorisk og eitt valfritt emne om du studerer medieproduksjon, og to valfrie emner om du studerer mediedesign. Det er også høve til å reise på utveksling i dette semesteret. Om ein vel utveksling, må ein syte for at ein i utvekslingsopphaldet vel emne som tilsvarar det obligatoriske emnet.
The programme of study is evaluated according to Volda University College’s quality assurance system.
