Course summary
This course allows you to explore a subject-specific practice in the expanding creative industry and its wider confines. You will consider the role of technology in society, whilst developing projects that look to explore the relevance, importance and future of this industry through analysis, experimentation and implementation of creative ideas. Throughout the course, you will be encouraged to undertake independent contextual and theoretical research that will improve your capacity for independent enquiry, creativity and professional practice. The course places an emphasis on problem setting rather than problem solving, through the development of self-initiated projects and briefs. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in live projects as we work closely with key cultural organisations within the North West. Find out more by signing up to an upcoming Open Day.

Entry requirements
We welcome students from any background into this course. This programme is especially suited to creative people with an inclination to “think outside the box”, imagining the technology-mediated experiences of the future. Students with a background in art and design will find multiple opportunities to gain a grounded experience with emergent technologies, exploring ways to integrate them into their practice. On the other side of the spectrum, students with a background in IT, engineering or software development, will encounter a safe space to experiment and develop their skills as creative practitioners.
