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.
