You'll work with your peers on group projects and in the past students have made an interactive cushion, explored Kinect hacking, created apps and designed an interactive breakfast table that showed the news.

You'll benefit from the cutting-edge facilities in our £80 million Art, Design and Media building, which is equipped with TV, radio and sound studios, workshops for digital image processing and a digital publishing suite. You will have access to cutting-edge haptic technology, a graphics, and a games programming laboratory, and you'll have the chance to use the Human Interactive Systems Laboratory, a centre of research into haptic technology, as well as the Lansdown Centre for Electronic Arts.
