The Department of Creative Technologies was created in August 2002 as a focus for subject development in new areas where digital information and communication technologies were already having an increasing impact, for example, leisure, arts, education and social interactions.
The department continues to grow and now has not only a full range of foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate courses, but also a thriving research community.
The Department of Creative Technologies covers a very wide cross-disciplinary range of subjects from hardcore programming to investigations into the nature of creativity. There are strong art, music, film and games areas within the department, with a particular focus on supporting these areas with appropriate technologies.
03 The continuing rapid change and growth of the media industries means that Creative Technologies is always at the forefront of technology, supporting this with its close ties with industry. Creative Technology students are frequently entrepreneurial and willing to work hard in their chosen areas.
