Course summary

Push the boundaries of digital creativity on our MSc Creative Computing course.

  • Leverage creative technology to design interactive experiences that inspire curiosity.
  • Develop skills in digital storytelling, creative research and project leadership.

Creative Computing is everywhere. The collision of good ideas and technological innovation continues to enhance how we communicate, learn, play, work and live. Our growing reliance on computing tools and experiences nevertheless demands a new form of talent - people who are technical yet creative, analytical yet playful, and experimental yet business-minded. MSc Creative Computing has been designed to respond to this growing need within the creative industries. You'll undertake modules designed to enhance your understanding and application of technology in a creative context, while gaining essential skills in creative research, interdisciplinary collaboration and enterprise.
