Creative Computing BA (Hons) / BSc (Hons)

About

Creative Computing is the use of technology as an innovative and creative medium. By learning through making you will engage with contemporary creative practice in a range of areas such as design systems, hardware prototyping, and software development (i.e. generative arts and audio programming).

You will use research and industry-standard tools, engaging with game engines, microcontrollers, and emerging technologies to allow you to explore potential employment routes and develop a portfolio of work.

You can graduate with a BSc or a BA depending on the modules you select, and you can change your path at any time up to your final year. The BSc is a good choice for aspiring developers, and the BA supports creative coders in developing innovative artistic practices. The course will help you identify and solve real-world problems using your creative and technical skills across multiple disciplines (e.g., music, visual art, film) while leveraging computational systems.
