Significant technological developments of recent years have resulted in tremendous changes in communication processes and the dissemination of information. As a result, the use of Multimedia and Graphics has been established among the most efficient ways of disseminating information. The importance of Multimedia and Graphic Arts, in conjunction with the interdisciplinary training and knowledge that successful professionals need to be equipped with, has given rise to the need for the development of academic programmes that aim at providing the necessary scientific background to students who wish to establish a career in the areas of Multimedia and Graphic Arts or wish to carry out research in these disciplines.

Especially in Cyprus, where the wider sector of services contributes a significant percentage towards the total national income and provides a significant number of work places, the employment of high calibre scientists, with specialization in Multimedia and the Graphic Arts, is of essence.

The Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts offers a high level Bachelor Degree, with specialisations in Multimedia and the Graphic Arts. The provision of such a degree will ensure that students, who wish to follow this programme of studies, will acquire the necessary academic training, which will enable them to embark successfully on either professional or research careers.
