Summary
This course is designed to prepare you for the professional world of digital arts practice by challenging you to experiment independently and collaboratively with new technologies. You will develop your own specialism in an area such as interactive visual and performance arts and media, networks and collaboration, haptic and audio interaction, performance technologies and the innovative application of new technologies to music. Graduates are ideally placed for careers as digital artists and creative coders, or to work in areas such as visual art, digital arts curation, game art, web content development and music technology.
The course attracts students from a broad range of backgrounds and seeks to use this diversity to enrich the learning experience. We will facilitate your collaboration with other students and maximise the potential for peer group learning at an advanced level. You will be empowered to experiment boldly and encouraged to take risks, with access to sophisticated industry-standard facilities that will allow you to push the boundaries of digital arts practice.
You will be able to build professional practice skills throughout the course – from understanding research methods and presenting your ideas to an audience, to exploring new digital technologies with established practitioners and producing individual bodies of work.
The teaching team is made up of award-winning internationally renowned digital arts practitioners and research-active academics, meaning that you will learn real-world skills informed by current research and the latest technologies. Our experts have created electronic soundtracks for dance and theatre companies and festivals, including the 2012 Cultural Olympiad and the European Capitals of Culture 2013 and 2021, and have artwork in important collections, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum Computer Art Collections.
