Student Innovation Projects are the heart of the Master of Digital Media program.

In Spring and Summer terms, multidisciplinary teams of four to six students take on applied technology-focused projects to develop prototypes or applications from concept to deliverable. Projects can be proposed by client partners spanning various industries, academic and research, not-for-profits, and community organizations. Under the guidance of faculty subject matter experts, teammates from diverse backgrounds and disciplines gain hands-on experience working with real-world client partners. All projects adhere to a 12-week project duration following industry-standard development processes.

If you represent a business or organization interested in partnering with Centre for Digital Media, or have questions about an Innovation Project, please contact Su Skerl, Strategic Partnerships Lead, for more information. Ready with your project proposal? Submit it via our form!
