What is the expected level of competence with these programs upon entry to the study?

None! But, that doesn't mean you should not have any experience. What we're looking for are students that have dabbled in creative technology, wether that be with drawing, programming, or designing, and have shown that they are interested and motivated to learn more. You learn everything you need in the study itself, but we highly encourage you to tread in the world of creative technology before you start.

Hope this helps!
