This program leads to a Master of Digital Media, a twelve-month, full-time professional program delivered on the Toronto campus. The curriculum covers foundations in digital media, interaction design, entrepreneurship, and digital environments, with research and coursework organized around tracks including video games and game design, immersive experiences such as AR and VR, fabrication and 3D design, ventures and innovation, digital activism, and data-centric products. Sample courses include Digital Media Entrepreneurship and Foundations of Digital Media. Students have access to facilities such as the Innovation Studio, the Red Bull Gaming Hub, and a design technology lab. There is no thesis or major research project; the program instead emphasizes professional and industry-oriented preparation. Admission requires a four-year bachelor's degree, a minimum 3.0 GPA, a portfolio, a statement of interest, references, and proof of English proficiency. It suits students planning to launch a digital media startup, work in industry, or pursue further graduate study.

Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Toronto Metropolitan University sets one guaranteed-consideration date for both domestic and international applicants applying for Fall 2027 entry: complete applications and amendments received by 1 February 2027 receive equal consideration for admission, and TMU says this same date applies to 'all domestic & international applicants.' Non-academic ('Grades-Plus') requirements are generally due around this point too, though the exact date varies by programme. For Winter 2027 (January-start) entry, TMU's program-status page gives domestic applicants a guaranteed-consideration date of 1 December 2026, with most programmes closing applications in mid-December; a limited number of programmes separately accept international applications for winter admission subject to space availability, but TMU publishes no fixed closing date for those international winter applicants. Admission is not rolling: late applications are considered only as space allows after the guaranteed-consideration date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
