Structure

The qualification covers intellectual property, organisational theory and project management. You will also learn how to develop commercial applications for your creative ideas. A defining characteristic of your learning experience will be the Creative Technologies studio environment. Each semester the studio is themed and you will undertake individual and team projects that require you to integrate knowledge from different domains. Studio methodology and learning outcomes are informed by emerging models of research and practice in the creative professions.

Year one
You will be introduced to the key skills and concepts of creative technologies and develop these skills through studio practice. Ongoing background reading and other research is an integral aspect of studio practice.

Year two
You will identify more individual interests within the broad areas of the degree, such as digital animation and moving image, interactive environments, robotics or new media practices.
