Course summary
What happens when creativity meets code, robotics, virtual reality and physical design? And how can technology move beyond the screen to create experiences people can see, touch and explore?
If you want to combine creative thinking with technical skills and build new kinds of digital and physical experiences, MSc Creative Technologies is for you.
Based at Winchester School of Art, this multidisciplinary master’s brings together art, design and technology. You’ll learn how to think in systems, solve creative problems and turn ideas into working projects using tools and approaches from across the creative technology sector.
Your work can move beyond traditional digital screens. Explore immersive experiences through programming, fabrication, textiles, wearable technology, 3D printing, virtual reality and augmented reality, while developing an understanding of the historical, theoretical and aesthetic ideas that shape creative technology today.
You’ll have the freedom to develop your own direction. Build skills in areas including programming, user experience design, physical fabrication, art and design practice or project management, depending on where your interests take you.
This is learning you’ll put into practice. Work collaboratively, explore technologies such as robotics and take on industry-facing projects with partners including IBM and Moving Brands.
Southampton is ranked 8th in the UK for research quality (Complete University Guide 2026), giving you the opportunity to develop your work within a research-led creative environment.
Find your place in a community where artists, designers and technologists learn from each other, and build the creative and technical confidence to experiment with what technology could become next.
Key features of this course
**Build things that go beyond the screen.** Design immersive digital experiences that can bring together software, physical materials, fabrication, textiles and 3D printing.
