Interactive media is an ever-expanding industry that combines the creative and the technical skills to build the tools that we have come to depend on every day. Whether it is the design of a website for the next great product or the mobile app that helps people connect on the go, the creation of interactive media takes a diverse skill set that includes visual design, coding, the ability to imagine what has not yet been built and the production skills to build it – all within a dynamic, growing industry that is constantly reinvented by new technologies. Humber’s Web Design and Interactive Media advanced diploma program helps you build the fundamental skills of the industry, gives room to self-specialize in the field, then guides you through the creation of a portfolio of work. The program also strives to create a culture that is passionate about the medium, fearless about new technology, familiar with entrepreneurial options in this field, and eager to engage in the interactive media community.

The interactive media field, also referred to as digital media, has been growing consistently at twice the national average for the last ten years. As digital technology becomes more central to our lives, there is an increased demand for those who can imagine, design and develop these experiences. These digital creatives are employed as interactive designers and developers in a variety of companies including interactive studios, advertising agencies, and as freelance designers. Increasingly, they are also getting involved with start-ups to create the next great products/apps.
