Education

Multimedia and Internet (MMI) - Professional BA (Current Year)

The MMI program stands for Multimedia and Internet. It is a multidisciplinary, hands-on professional BA training in digital communication, web development, design, and project management.

  • I am currently acquiring polyvalent skills in fields such as Web Development, Graphic Design, Audiovisual Production, Communication, and Digital Marketing.
  • The subjects are deeply linked, allowing me to audit websites and understand both the creative (design, visuals) and technical (HTML5/CSS3 coding standards, integration) aspects of a digital project.
  • I learn how to make professional presentations, develop a strategic response to a complex problem, and write content adapted to various digital media.
  • My training includes Marketing and Communication in both French and English, preparing me to work in international or diverse teams.
  • Through practical projects (SAE), I can conceive and realize multimedia products and services, such as websites, videos, and interactive devices.
  • I can also effectively manage digital projects and work autonomously, which is crucial for delivering quality work and meeting deadlines.
