COURSE CURRICULUM

The MA Creative Technology program is structured around modules that blend theoretical exploration with practical application, encouraging students to critically engage with the role of technology in contemporary creative practice. The module Creative Research Methods introduces advanced approaches to research and experimentation, helping students develop rigorous methods for investigating creative ideas. Exploring Theory and Practice allows for an in-depth understanding of the conceptual frameworks that underpin modern creative work, linking critical thinking with studio-based practice. The Real World Context module focuses on connecting creative projects with industry and society, offering opportunities to collaborate with cultural organisations and develop professional networks. In Definitive Practice, students work independently on a major final project that synthesises their research, skills, and creative vision into a resolved professional portfolio. The Applied Technology module provides hands-on experience with emerging tools, software, and techniques used in digital art and design, supporting innovation through experimentation. Together, these modules foster creative independence, interdisciplinary collaboration, and technological fluency. The course prepares graduates to thrive within the rapidly evolving creative industries, equipping them with the conceptual insight, technical skills, and professional understanding required to apply technology creatively and meaningfully in a range of contemporary contexts.
