Maker? Thinker? Futurist? Coder? Performer? Technologist? Conservationist? Designer? Interested?

Our new hybrid BA (Hons) is a course for the future, where you will explore the intersection of art and design to create your career in the evolving creative industries.

Many innovative creative studios now define themselves as interdisciplinary, a word which defines the fluid movement across the fields of art, design and technology. Rather than specialising in a particular creative discipline, our cutting-edge course reflects how these studios practice by exploring the intersection between art and design, with the implementation of new creative digital technologies.

Our course will prepare you to be ready for employment within the creative industries by providing you with long-term creative skills to map out your creative future. With you at the centre, we will explore the intersections of art and design, providing a space where you can understand, develop and create a career in the evolving creative industries. You will develop the necessary self-awareness to question, make, play and create with others.

The versatility of our experimental studio environment will enable you to explore the necessary collisions that innovative ideas creation now requires, while enhancing a range of core skills including design thinking, creative problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and making. We encourage collaborative practice and offer a cross-level learning approach, meaning you can work with students across all years of the course to create projects and share ideas.

Whether you choose to combine creative coding with sensors, interactive design with projection mapping, 3D scanning and VR or interactive live performance with sound and light, you will respond to live briefs set by real-life clients. Students have worked on local, national and global creative briefs, from working on immersive installations at Boomtown Festival, to virtual portals with Chicago and Kyiv in the Metaverse. You will get a wide range of experience working on live briefs in both real and virtual environments.

The flexible, student-centred approach to the curriculum, informed by professional practitioners, will enable you to be imaginative, confident and convincing in designing and shaping your role in tomorrow’s free flowing, boundary free creative industries.

Creative Technologies

All students will be introduced to the fundamentals of interdisciplinary art and design practice as well as creative technologies, which forms the core ethos of this course. Creative technologies will give you the opportunity to focus specifically to develop your digital skills through a breadth of technological approaches.
