"The MSc was challenging but worth it. I was able to develop skills in design,
IA and web development, project management. The writing and editing component
was extremely useful. When I graduated I worked in New Media in London for two
years - in project management and content editing/management roles - before
returning to Barbados. I've leveraged the skills I developed to work on several
web development projects both locally and across the Caribbean. While I am not
a technie I've won web dev contracts and then worked with my associates who
would do much of the coding - I would concentrate on content development and
IA and project management. My investment was worth it and has allowed me to
diversify and enhance my skills and service offering."

EP unleashed in me."

working in the online domain. Professionally I have used almost all of the things
I learned on the course in some way over the past few years, including writing
and editing, usability and HCI, XML, graphic design and layout, audio recording,
digitising and editing, HTML and CSS, Flash, editing and producing graphics
and managing web projects."

"All in all, I really recommend the course"

“ The MSc in Electronic Publishing at City was excellent. It was a frantic
12 months – I designed and tested a computer game prototype, built a web
site for a community radio station, and interviewed some incredibly important
people at the BBC, Sky News and the Times for my dissertation on online newsrooms.
I now create e-learning products in Flash for major Japanese companies such
as Fujitsu as well as for international education publishers. I can honestly
say that I use what I learnt at City almost every day in my role. If you want
to pursue a career in new media, whether it be in production or management,
then this MSc will give you a massive head start.”
- Ben Lupton, Project Manager/UI Designer

"Here was my favourite aspect of the course: You reach a point during the year when you automatically dissect every piece of media you see. Online or even ads on buses, you can pull it apart layer by layer, graphic by graphic. When you hit that point you know that you could recreate basically anything - which means you can create even more."
- J.M.

"Electronic publishing at City offered an excellent overview of all the stages involved in a new media project. I was interested in web design and development. I researched cutting edge design, learned html, experimented with dhtml while at the same time gained insight on project management and back end systems.
