Testimonials

Alessa Gross, IDM Graduate 2015

Designer at FieldAware

When I came across an ad for the IDM course in Trinity, I was in the middle of graduating a BSc in Computer Science at a university that provided only very technical Bachelor and Master courses for students. Therefore, it never occurred to me that CS can be combined with the creativity and diversity of topics in digital media. Mind-blown, it clicked in my head, I wanted to learn about the inter-disciplinary topics IDM covered.

I knew I had a lot to catch up within the lectures bordering on the arts and humanities, such as Interactive Narrative, Cultural and Critical Studies and of course Graphic Design. They introduced me to methodologies and a way of thinking that I was unfamiliar with, while the technical lectures taught me about web, audio and video technologies I had little knowledge of.

Every group and solo assignment made me more resourceful and opened my eyes to the possibilities in the field of digital media. The course taught me to think outside of the box when it comes to computer science and it made me confident to use my knowledge about technology to recreate it and reshape it in new ways.

Since I graduated the course, I found my place in User Experience design, a field that I certainly would have only looked at from a distance, if I wouldnt have strayed away from classical computer scientist path.

Helen Picard, IDM Graduate 2016

Senior Security Policy Advisor for the Government of Ontarios Cyber Security Division

The IDM program gave me the flexibility and support to pursue my own path within the digital realm. I was able to refine my individual interests through the thesis component while also benefitting from a core suite of classes.
