Are you curious? Are you interested in how technology shapes the ways we live, create and work? Interactive Media Management – Creative Technologies brings together students from diverse academic disciplines to leverage technology for creative outcomes. In this one-year graduate certificate program, you’ll study emerging human-centred technology through multi-disciplinary projects and rapid proof-of-concept prototypes. You’ll develop a solid foundation in innovation theory and ethics, and explore and critique all aspects of experiential technology, including spatial, visual, sound, haptic, intelligence and reason, empathy, and simulated features.

In your first semester, you’ll collaborate with your professors and classmates to explore a broad range of technologies before focusing your attention on a specific project in your second semester. You’ll build toward a large capstone project, so you are encouraged to enter the program with a major project idea or area of interest that is compatible with the general human-centered technologies explored in the program. Examples of these technologies include augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Creative technologists work in a variety of settings. Graduates may find employment in various areas such as web solution firms, software companies, start-ups, venture studios, e-commerce, media design companies, banks, insurance or advertising companies. Roles include interaction designer, UX/UI designer, frontend developer, digital experience designer, multimedia developer, product designer, specialist or web marketing consultant.

International and domestic markets exhibit strong needs for creative technologies, resulting in a strong job market and long-term career prospects.
