This may include backgrounds in audio / video / image manipulation and processing, computer animation or related disciplines. A portfolio is also required in support of your application.

International entry requirements:
IELTS 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in writing, speaking, listening and reading.

Reorientate your career following the technical revolution in the media industry on AI automation
Develop the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of using the latest AI techniques in media production
Work closely with industry partners on solving practical problems
Become competent in the job market with both the knowledge of AI and media production
Collaborate with students from across the NCCA Master´s courses
Plan and execute a major project to showcase your talent to industry professionals and potential employers at the NCCA Master´s Degree Show.

Machine Learning for Media Production: You´ll gain a critical understanding of the theory involved in the machine learning and existing ML SDK tools and techniques for media production, and to enable you to develop your problem solving and technique development skills.
Data Mining on Multimedia Data: You´ll be introduced to the algorithms and computational paradigms that allow computers to find patterns and regularities in datasets, perform prediction and forecasting, and generally improve performance through interaction with data. The data mining processing includes data selection, cleaning, coding, using different statistical and machine learning techniques, and visualization of the generated structures.
Animation Software Engineering: This unit will equip you with the technical computing skills necessary in the design and implementation of AI techniques, and the knowledge to select the correct programming languages, application, programming interfaces and techniques to solve media production problems.
Media Data Analytics and Modelling: You´ll learn about the science of analysing media data (such as images, video, natural language, sound, 3D models and motions) to reveal features and metrics in order to make conclusions about the information it contains.
Group Project: Working with students from across the NCCA Master´s courses, you´ll present a substantial piece of work with technical/creative content.
Masterclass: You´ll explore the professional world of the artificial intelligence industry, and be exposed to advanced production issues of professional practice, providing you with the theoretical and practical knowledge of specialist artificial intelligence techniques.
Masters Project: You´ll plan and execute a major project in a professional manner utilising relevant techniques and undertake a critical analysis of your own work. You´ll focus on a specific problem in media production which has the potential to be automated by the latest artificial intelligence technology.

The Masters Degree Show

The Master’s Degree Show is the culmination of one year’s work for the Master´s NCCA courses. This is your opportunity to showcase your talent to industry professionals and potential employers.

The course is primarily intended to foster graduates with the unique skillset required to pursue various Artificial Intelligence related roles in the media industries. During your degree you will have the opportunity to work with some of the UK´s leading media production organisations, through the National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA), and can make valuable contacts before you graduate.
