Course summary
Harness tech to elevate human creativity. This master’s programme explores how emerging technologies can enhance and transform human creativity, in sustainable and ethical ways, through the lens of Falmouth University’s 120-year creative legacy. Designed to support a wide range of creative and technical backgrounds, on this master’s degree we examine how tools such as artificial intelligence, immersive media and data-driven systems can extend the reach, impact and meaning of creative work. As a student, you will investigate the relationship between emerging technology and aesthetics, considering how form and expression evolve in a digitally mediated world. Central themes include the ethics and social impact of AI, intellectual property in new creative contexts and the environmental implications of technological production. Guided by research-active staff, this course offers a research-led, individually tailored learning experience. Through creative projects and critical inquiry, you’ll develop the insight and confidence to question, innovate and lead within the ever-evolving field of creative technologies. Graduates emerge prepared to shape the future of digital creativity: whether as researchers, artists, designers or strategists exploring the intersection of technology, culture and human imagination. Why study this course at Falmouth? Delivered in a cultural and natural setting like no other, this programme has been developed in partnership with faculty, researcher and industry collaborators: from those with expertise in emerging technology, as well as those from traditional creative arts disciplines. The course is focused on understanding and interrogating the use of technology in creative practice: the applications of technology - including AI and automation – examined critically against central themes of environment, sustainable practice and societal benefit.
