Description

School of Design
Wellington, New Zealand

Starting in 2012, the School of Design introduces a new Masters qualification in Computer Graphics as part of its MDI offerings. It runs in collaboration with the Computer Science Computer Graphics Masters qualification; the MDI places a focus on aesthetics and creative output using computer graphics techniques while the Computer Science degree places emphasis on the scientific progression of speed, fidelity and capability.

Students from both programmes are required to take a portion of coursework in the other school, as well as working together in co-taught electives. The Computer Graphics qualifications are sponsored by the New Zealand Government’s Ministry of Science and Innovation, and by local industry partners who are recognized internationally for their work in the Computer Graphics field (Weta Digital, Unlimited Realities and Sidhe). These companies have provided valuable feedback on structure, feasibility and future goals of the programme. They are also committed to supporting the programme in various other ways: with funding, reviewing student work, guest lectures, PhD scholarships and internship possibilities.
