BENG DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY

Programming, signal and image processing, international networks, computer graphics and game design, and multimedia system management are just some of the technologies which you will learn about on the BEng Digital Media Technology programme.

Digital Media Technology

Overview

In the BEng Digital Media Technology programme, you will learn how computerised or electronic devices can represent, record, transmit, process, display and interact with multimedia information, such as text, audio, images, video and animations.

Computer science technologies that you will learn include programming, signal and image processing, internets, computer graphics and game design, and multimedia system management.

Studying this programme will give you a fundamental understanding of electronic engineering and computer science, with an emphasis on digital media technology.

Why should I study Digital Media Technology at XJTLU?

  • This programme has a 2+2 articulation route to BEng Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (Digital Media Technology Pathway) at the University of Liverpool;
  • The programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and British Computer Society (BCS), and is the only XJTLU programme accredited by both institutions;
  • Opportunity to articulate to the MSc Multimedia Telecommunications or MRes Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems programme, leading to a University of Liverpool degree. These Master programmes are extension courses for the BEng Digital Media Technology programme; and
  • Earn two degrees: an XJTLU degree from the Chinese Ministry of Education and a globally recognised degree from the University of Liverpool, a member of the Russell Group of leading UK universities.

The BEng Digital Media Technology is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS)

What is BCS academic accreditation?
Accreditation from BCS provides the degree with independent assurance and recognition of the quality of computing education. The course content and provision are assessed by academics and employers, aligned with IT industry frameworks and benchmarked against other educational institutions, to ensure they meet the rigorous standards set by the profession.
Students choose to study BCS-accredited degrees knowing they will gain the right set of technical, personal and professional skills for the evolving tech industry — while employers can be confident that your graduates are prepared and ready to make an impact in their business.

Programme Director

DMT is an excellent programme with a well-designed curriculum. In this programme, I learned knowledge not only from books but also from practice, including experiments and projects. Throughout my undergraduate career, I learned about algorithms, mathematics, and electronic engineering. The courses I took laid a solid foundation for further research and study in artificial intelligence, mobile computing, computer graphics, and signal processing.
