Summary
Our MSc in Creative Technology develops the next generation of creative technology specialists, who through innovation and creativity will disrupt and revolutionise the industry and society. The course is grounded in the application of scientific methodology in its approach to the subject area. Technology and scientific knowledge is applied as part of the creative, multidisciplinary projects.
The course emphasises a project led learning approach with creative technology workshops, realistic project briefs, and a personal and peer project focussed on technology working with fellow students across the school of Art & Design.
Projects could include multi-sensory experiences using computer programming, AI prompting, video and digital music manipulation, virtual reality, augmented reality, UI/UX design, 3D printing, the Internet of Things, CAD/CAM and wearable technology.
This course enables you to develop an existing project idea to completion through a structured pathway of modules and progressive coursework assessments. It provides an opportunity for you explore creative technology and become a technologist or become a commercial or social enterprise entrepreneur of the future.
We encourage you to consider your area of specialism and a proposal of what you wish to research as part of your application. We would be happy to discuss this with you during the application process.
