Programme Overview
The Bachelor of Creative Multimedia at Nova Academy is a 12-month EQF Level 6 top-up for diploma holders ready to move from executing designs to directing them. Building on your diploma foundation, the curriculum blends design theory, multimedia production, visual storytelling, photography, videography, 3D modelling and animation, web and UI/UX design, and interactive technologies — with a sustained focus on portfolio development. The emphasis shifts from craft to judgement: how to develop a concept, hold a visual language consistent across a body of work, and defend design decisions to a client or team. Assessment remains 100% coursework and project-based with no written examinations, so the degree is evidenced by finished work. Counting from the start of the diploma, the full pathway takes about 30 months; students entering the bachelor's directly, without a diploma, complete it in 36 months. The degree is awarded by partner university UITM Poland (EQF Level 6) and is widely recognised across Europe. Graduates move into roles such as UI/UX designer, digital product designer, motion designer, design strategist and interactive designer. Classes run at the Nova campus in MRANTI Technology Park, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
