Multimedia(UN)

Multimedia is all around us

The interdisciplinary first cycle academic study programme Multimedia is jointly implemented by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, which coordinates the programme, and the Faculty of Computer and Information Science of the University of Ljubljana.

Multimedia professionals are among the most sought-after job profiles. There is already more demand than there is qualified staff available, and trends show that professionals for these types of jobs will be in even greater demand in the coming decade. Combining technological, creative and entrepreneurial skills, multimedia engineers are qualified to work in interdisciplinary departments and project teams. In the fast-growing digital technology sector, they are the best choice for a variety of leadership positions, such as multimedia service development manager, user experience specialist, product manager, multimedia content analyst or multimedia systems engineer.
The Multimedia programme, which is offered at first and second cycle, trains professionals who are equipped to work innovatively on the challenges of the new era.
