Course summary
Our Creative Media Arts BA Honours is an exciting hands-on course that will see you produce art and make content including films, photographs, interactive installations, immersive and digital media using creative technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), projection mapping, 3D modelling and game engines. With an ethos of ‘learning through making’, you will be encouraged to experiment, innovate and pursue your own creative interests. The course places you at the forefront of technological developments in the arts and creative sectors. Theory and practice are integrated on the course, and you will engage with current debates around, for example, creativity in the age of generative AI, digital identities, and the relationships between media and power in wider culture and society. The course produces multi-skilled graduates capable of thriving in fast-moving creative industries, where the ability to think across media disciplines is essential. This course prepares you for a wide range of careers, from roles as an artist, director, or producer within the media arts and cultural sectors, to broader opportunities in marketing, content creation, and creative technologies. Alongside developing your own creative and artistic practice and building a portfolio of work, you'll have the opportunity to exhibit and present your work publicly, collaborate with others, learn project management skills, work on productions, and develop problem-solving abilities. Taught by industry and academic experts at our spacious Harrow Campus, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art facilities and workshops. You'll work alongside students from film, fine art, photography, music, fashion, media and journalism in an inspiring creative environment.
