The Bachelor of Creative Technologies was developed with the future in mind. Your learning is project-based and takes place in studios or workshops where you collaborate with your classmates on a range of projects. Half of your study time is allocated to studio work, developing new ideas or working on a range of projects.
You study robotics and programming, make films, create animations and soundscapes, and design interactive multimedia environments or games. You also learn to apply your ideas to different fields, think entrepreneurially, and present and sell your ideas.
Preferred school subjects: Design (Practical Art), Design and Visual Communication, Digital Technologies, Technology, Processing Technologies, Construction and Mechanical Technologies, Drama, Media Studies, Music, Mathematics, Science, Statistics, Calculus.
Year 1
You’re introduced to key concepts of creative technologies and develop these through diverse studio projects. Projects will vary but you’ll learn how to express your ideas in a variety of digital and physical media – whether it’s through film, sound, robotics, games or smart objects.
Year 2 & 3
You have more choice of studio projects which you’re encouraged to develop in creative, unexpected or provocative ways. We encourage you to work in teams or with people outside AUT, including industry partners. Your final assessment could take the form of a public exhibition, transmedia project, game design, smart system or similar formats.
Minors and electives
You can study a minor or elective papers from another AUT degree, enabling you to pursue an area of interest from a wide range of subjects.
