Course summary

VR, AR, games, 3D environments, UI/UX design, web apps, interactive stories, and immersive experiences—our course will enable you to shape the future of interactive media. Our BSc in Interactive Media teaches you the fundamental principles at the heart of interactive media. By combining theory and practice, you’ll develop in-depth knowledge of programming and engineering, design, and media and cultural studies. You’ll gain practical experience of the latest creative technologies and industry workflows in our £30m media complex. We’ll equip you with the technical and production skills you’ll need to succeed in everything from software development and web design to social media management and digital marketing. Our project-based assessments – with an optional year in industry between years two and three - will help build your portfolio. We’ll encourage you to think critically about the societal impacts of interactive media, challenge key issues and theories, and recognise how user experience drives innovation. As you progress, you’ll have the freedom to tailor your degree to suit your own interests and creative ideas. Our teaching starts from the ground up, meaning you’ll feel supported from the start, regardless of your prior experience level. Upon completion of the degree, you will be an adaptable professional with a wide range of technical, design and analytical skills. You’ll be attractive to employers from entertainment to finance, from technology development to design, from industry to academia. Our graduates have gone on to work in games design and software development companies, creative design agencies, digital marketing and the broader digital sector.
