Degree: BA in Creative Technologies
Duration: 3 years F/T
UCAS Code: U20/W900
The BA in Creative Technologies combines industry-relevant digital content development with an innovative engagement in contemporary creative arts practice and creative industries policy. The scope of this course necessitates project-based work across traditional subject boundaries, leading students to develop adaptable creative and technical skills which will equip them for work in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
Students benefit from guest lectures from leading artists and industry figures and will be exposed to cutting edge creative practice—some of it being work which radically redefines our relationship with technology—and debate through participation in departmental events.
You will develop key skills in audio/music, image (2D, 3D, film, animation), design, interactive applications, electronics, web design, computing and communications. The School of Creative Arts is home to designers, technologists, musicians, dancers, actors, directors, and dramatists alike and the strong sense of community will provide you with many opportunities to collaborate with and learn from each other. Frequently, these collaborations will continue after you graduate.
With this combination of an exposure to a variety of creative fields, a range of technical skills and an understanding of the place of creative and emerging technologies in the wider digital economy, you will be extremely well-placed to compete successfully in what is a rapidly changing employment market.
The course is mainly taught through small lab-based classes, so you will benefit from personal attention from your lecturers and tutors. Our labs and studios will be open from early in the morning until late in the evening—it’s just as well as your ideas will often take many hours to realise thoroughly. However, when you have a number of outstanding projects to call your own, the long hours will have been worth it.
