**Explore the cultural reaches and limitless opportunities of existing and emerging technology, by approaching computer-based digital content as an art form. You’ll address the impact of technology on society and culture, by studying its technical aspects and history, and discovering its potential for innovation.**
This course will provide you with the technical and design skills you need to lead the development of interactive technologies. You’ll explore the language of code as a mode of expression, and then develop forms of art that establish interaction with others.
You’ll develop a full awareness of the social, ethical and environmental impact of those technologies in the connected contemporary world. You’ll learn beyond understanding how to develop new digital interfaces, to also understand why they are necessary as a means of encouraging technological ideas that suggest alternative ways of inhabiting information communities.
You will be fully equipped to create, design, intervene, innovate and speculate on new and emerging technologies in the public realm, in the studio and as a form of social enterprise.
Core specialisms include consideration of areas such as; interaction design, interface design, social media design, interactive web media, mobile application design, web design, responsive and immersive environments, internet art, network-based art, and software art.
Through studying Creative Technologies you’ll learn how digital code, platforms and media exist simultaneously in the studio, lab, and streets. Our state-of-the-art facilities, including the Fabrication Lab, Impact Lab, Immersive Media Lab in addition to our world-class Material Lab, and cultural partnerships with the Tate and Karst, mean that studying technology includes the exploration of the digital evolution of traditional materials and methods of making.
Graduates can become:
- App developers
- Web designers

Standard Qualification Requirements
Although many of our students do come in with top grades and high UCAS points, these aren’t necessarily essential for entry. We typically ask for a minimum of 112 UCAS points, but we understand that talented artists, designers and makers can have a wide range of relevant strengths and skills beyond formal qualifications. We’re just as interested in exploring your portfolio and discussing your creative experiences as we are in seeing your grades.
Your application will tell us about your qualifications and previous experience, but studying the arts is about more than can be captured on forms. We need to find out about your creative potential, your abilities and idiosyncrasies, so we will invite you to talk about your work with a member of our HE academic team. You can tell us about your aspirations, and why you want to study at the college. It is also a good moment to find out what we can offer you.
We encourage you to visit the college, so that you can see our facilities, meet our teaching and technical staff, and discuss any other queries you may have; however we appreciate this may not be possible, and are happy to talk to you via an online platform (such as Google Meet or similar).
We accept a range of international qualifications and will look at each application individually.
