The Mac lab is an essential resource designed to foster creativity, technical skills, and professional development. The space is equipped with high-performance Mac desktops, optimized for graphic design, video editing, digital illustration, animation, fashion design and multimedia production.

The Mac computers feature industry-standard software such as Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects), Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and 3D design tools like Blender, Cinema 4D and CLO | 3D. These powerful tools allow students to work on high-resolution projects with ease, ensuring that they can handle professional-grade tasks like video rendering, graphic design, garment design and audio production without any technical bottlenecks.

Using this lab is an opportunity for students to familiarise themselves with industry-standard software and hardware, preparing them for careers in creative industries such as digital media, media production, animation, graphic design, film, and audio production. The cutting-edge tools enhance their technical proficiency while enabling them to experiment creatively without limitations. Furthermore, the lab is designed to mimic professional working environments, making the transition from academia to the creative industry smoother.

Availability

The use of this facility is limited to students registered on specific courses within the School of Arts, Media & Communication and requires staff supervision.

Due to the technical nature of the equipment in the lab, individuals are required to attend a technical induction. Following this, they must complete additional course-based technical instruction workshops before being granted permission to use the lab.

Since the mac lab is used for scheduled teaching activities, access is only by special arrangement.
