Skillset research has revealed that there is a shortage of people within the industry equipped with highly specialised skills in one core field, combined with the broad skills and knowledge required to utilise their expertise across teams and platforms in digital media. 

Skillset has launched an innovative programme of media short courses that have been designed to fit in with the busy schedule of existing media professionals. 

Build Your Own MA is a series of flexibly delivered short courses that focus on current industry trends, developments and issues.  Courses are delivered across England and can be taken singly, or together to work towards an MA.

Just some of the courses available are: 

Interactive Development in Digital Media, Programming for Artists, Developing Multiplatform Ideas, Leadership and Management for Creative Industries, Branding and Brand Management, Future Media Platforms and Environments, Managing Projects – Systems and Workflows, User Experience in Cross-Media Development, Audience-Centred Design, Transmedia Storytelling, 3D for Visual Effects Compositors

From content creation and production to metadata management, the journey starts here. Find out more at: http://www.skillset.org/build/
