The post-graduate masters by research MRes Creative Computing will give you a material understanding of computational technologies in the context of creative computing research. You will also be introduced to innovative research methods, the knowledge domain of creative computing and research design in an interdisciplinary context. The course specifically supports progression to MPhil/PhD both within the Institute and elsewhere and is a good fit for someone looking to develop a research career (in academia or industry) and who wants to know how research is done in the interdisciplinary domain of creative computing.

As an MRes student you will engage with the following core Institute researchers themes;Creativity, Machine Learning and AI, This platform explores how a foundational technology of the 21st century can be used in creative ways and examines how people will act with such technologies in deploying their personal and collective creativity; Human Computer Interaction, This platform explores how we behave with emerging technologies and what they will mean for products, services and culture; Platforms, Big Data and Digital Citizenship: This platform explores how the huge amount of data aggregated to the key platforms of our time can be understood, explored and contribute to a public discourse of a globalised and networked society.

As a student at the UAL Creative Computing Institute you will study in a specialist and research rich environment. The Institute provides dedicated technical resources and access to an Institute wide lecture programme and further opportunities to engage with Institute researchers and practitioners through additional events, seminars and workshops. By studying at the UAL Creative Computing Institute, you will join at network of creative researchers excited by the potential of computational technologies.
