We increasingly engage with creative technology in our daily lives through print and broadcast, virtual and augmented experiences, games, film and music. We recognise the importance of combining the skills associated with the once-separate creative and technical worlds and have designed this masters course to ensure that you benefit from cross-faculty teaching between the Arts and Creative Industry and Science and Technology faculties.

You’ll be encouraged to step out of your comfort zone and tackle something new, benefitting from support and guidance from our practice-based staff who are active in research and constantly seeking new and creative ways to ensure that the course meets the needs of industry and employers.<br/><br/>Youll collaborate with your peers on group projects undertaking live briefs from Industry to get a feel of the professional world. In the past students have created immersive VR and AR environments, Hololens environments, 360° videos, projection mapping projects, locative mobile apps, novel gaming environments, wearable tech and an interactive cushion.<br/><br/>Working within the current public distancing guidelines, we will be enhancing our online teaching with access to our cutting-edge facilities such as TV, radio and sound studios, 3D workshops and workshops for high-end digital work, green screens and gaming and video editing computers.
