Admission essay
I am currently pursuing a major in Media Communication and focusing on digital media
production, strategic communication, community organization, and social justice work. These
areas of specialization in my current major have created an interest within me to pursue a digital
media program. The major has offered me the prerequisite knowledge and skills that are
mandatory for admission into the digital media degree program. I have also taken the
Introduction to interactive media course. The course enabled me to understand how we can shape
interactive media and in what ways does the interactive media shape us. I was also able to design
an interactive game using both digital and physical parts concerning climate change for the class.
I am a productive team player with diverse skills in both role play and leadership. I am
good in group learning activities with the capability of positively influencing the learning of
fellow group members. I am also willing and able to learn from what others know and their skills
and experiences. I have been a member of different learning groups in my current major, and
both have proved to be very useful. Media require inputs from different people, and being able to
work in a group is an advantage for me.
I have also advanced my skills in audio recording and editing, video recording and
editing, photo shooting, and film making. From my major, I have also been able to learn visual
communication and visual storytelling. These skills have prepared me for the challenge that
awaits me for the program and will be looking forward to putting them in practice and further
develop on them through the program. Digital visual skills are a prominent feature in digital
media; thus, the little understanding I have about it has prepared me for the more exceptional
content at the university level.

I feel that traditional media still works and operates at a prolonged speed. The
conventional media needs to be supported or replaced by interactive media, which is fast and
efficient. New media offers a more pin-point sort of solution to increasing innovations in the
field. The slow transmission speed and the limitations on the content that can be aired on
traditional media bring the necessity to introduce the digital media and replace the old ways
(Rampazzo, 2016). Digital media offers an interactive platform that is both time-sensitive and
fast. New media is hence, the latest trend all over the world. Pursuing this course will, thus,
enable me to be part of the transformation, taking media to the next level.
I am interested in video making, photo shooting, watching movies, and summarizing
movies, extracting ideas from the film, and critical analyzing movie themes and getting the
details on how they are edited. Watching numerous films has opened up my mind regarding the
different technologies that can be applied in movie production. This has also given me an idea of
how these skills can be developed. I am convinced that pursuing the course at your university
will impart me with the right skills.
The Master of Digital Media Program allows one to develop and gain competence in the
design process and self-awareness. These aspects will be critical in enabling me to grow
professionally and attain my professional goals as a digital media expert. I aspire to develop
visual games, and I consider the course as the most appropriate step towards nurturing that
desire. Through the program projects, I will put to practice some of the noblest visual skill in
improving on the game that I have prior developed in my major. The course also promotes team-
working and time management. Being a natural team player, I see this as the best opportunity to
nurture that and maximize my abilities and that of a team.

I have studied in the U.S for seven years; therefore, I am familiar with the western
education system. I have been able to interact with people and other students from different
cultural backgrounds. This position removes any cultural and social barriers that would limit my
interaction with the student community. My prior experience in the U.S educational system
offered me the opportune chance to combine Eastern and Western culture. This will serve as
strength for me, enabling me to interact with the different cultures with no limitations freely.
Canada offers an equally mixed environment in terms of culture.
