Creative Technologies (with placement year)

BSc (Hons) Creative Technologies is an interdisciplinary course that brings together creative practice, emerging technologies, and digital production. You will explore how immersive media, interactive systems, moving image and sound can be shaped creatively, helping you turn ideas into experiences that people can see, hear, explore, and respond to.

You will learn by making. The course is designed for students who want to work across disciplines rather than within a single specialism. You will develop creative and technical confidence through hands-on projects that reflect real-world creative processes, from early ideas and prototyping, through to production and presentation. Collaboration, experimentation, problem-solving, and the application of AI tools are central to how you learn.

As a specialist arts university, we provide access to professional-standard facilities, including computer labs, specialist software, film and sound production spaces, and equipment for interactive and immersive media. Teaching is practice-led and project-based, encouraging you to explore ideas through making, testing, and refining your work.

Collaboration sits at the heart of the course. You will be encouraged to collaborate with students from across the University, including Filmmaking, Animation, Music, Games, and Fine Art. Opportunities for live briefs, public-facing projects, installations, and industry engagement are embedded throughout the course, helping you build confidence, creative ambition, and a strong portfolio.

We support you in developing professional skills alongside creative practice. This includes working collaboratively, communicating ideas clearly, documenting your process, and understanding the cultural, ethical, and professional contexts in which creative technologies operate. Guest speakers and visiting practitioners share insight into current practice and emerging career pathways.
