MSc Digital Futures

This is my story about my MSC.

MSc Digital Futures
(now incorporated into MSc Digital Art and Technology)

The year I studied for my Masters was an incredibly busy year but a very successful one. At the same time as doing the course, along with three other students from my first degree course, I set up my own digital production company which has gone from strength to strength winning lots of awards.

The company recently won its first major international award for the Weller Astronomy Galleries installation at the Royal Observatory, beating off competition from thousands of other companies from 25 countries.

HMC Interactive creates interactive multimedia products for a wide range of industries, including Chocolate Rain for Cadbury and Digital Grass for the BBC. Our latest project has been to create interactive experiences for the visitor centre at Torquay’s Living Coasts. These include a touch screen penguin training facility which allows people to nurture, grow and teach penguins a survival skill.

The Masters course helped me to be daring and risk taking, giving me confidence to believe in my own creativity. In my work with HMC Interactive, our clients always ask us for impossible things that don’t exist, and yet we find a way of making that fantasy a reality. It really is the most interesting job in the world.
