Would you like to work in the Film, VFX or Games industries? If so, and you are interested in how sound or graphics or animation works and are fascinated as to how creative digital media intersects with computer science, then this BSc in Computing and Creative Technologies is the right course for you.

In this course you’ll gain a solid foundation in computing science with a good command of various programming concepts. Your computing studies are then complemented by modules in film, sound, and audio production, which are underpinned by technical modules on audio and graphics programming.

From day one, you’ll be immersed in a cutting-edge environment, soaking up the combined expertise of research-active staff from both the School of Computing Sciences and the School of Arts, Media, and American Studies.

The academics from the School of Computing Sciences will teach you your computing subjects, while film, television and media subjects will be taught by the Arts, Media, and American Studies team.

You’ll kick off your studies by getting hands-on experience in the essentials of computing, including computer systems, computer and web programming, database systems, software engineering and mathematics. You will have opportunity to learn and practise employability skills which are highly valued by employers.

You will then get the opportunity to study increasingly more specialist subjects such as computer graphics, games development, video and audio processing, film and video production, artificial intelligence and more.

It’s all brought to life in our specialist graphics lab with state-of-the-art computers and high-end graphics cards, as well as in our creative technology laboratory, which includes a film studio and motion capture suite.

Thanks to our strong ties with media and entertainment companies, we can shape our course content and coursework projects based on current trends and real-world problems.
