Are you:
• A technologist with a creative dimension?
• A designer with programming skills?
• An artist working with technologies?
The Creative Technologies MA/MSc is managed by the Institute of Creative Technologies – a research institute that undertakes research and development, including rapid prototyping, into new and emerging creative technologies, cultural practice and its impacts on society. Since it’s foundation in 2006, the Institute has focused on the fusion of science, arts and technologies to develop innovative transdisciplinary research and practice in creative technologies.
The innovative Creative Technologies MA/MSc enables students to develop knowledge and skills in working creatively with new technologies across traditional discipline areas. Students are able to select modules from a range of creative technologies’ areas and combine them in an independent project. Subject areas open to students include Artificial Intelligence, Computational Intelligence, Creative Coding, Digital Arts, Digital Cultures, Future Cities, Internet of Things, Interactions Design, Systems Design, Transmedia Practice and Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities.
In our world of rapidly developing technologies, specific technology-related knowledge is no longer sufficient and graduates require skills that enable them to select and combine technologies in creative ways. The future workforce must be equipped with a range of contemporary hybrid skills necessary for digital technology innovation, including higher-level digital, technical and interpersonal skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, as well as skills in critical thinking and creative development.
Graduates from the IOCT’s Creative Technologies programme are uniquely equipped for our future world, having developed a range of methods and practices, research and development strategies, and knowledge and understanding from across discipline areas. By crossing traditional discipline boundaries and developing new modes of collaboration and cooperation, our graduates are well placed to face the challenges presented by the rapidly evolving technological environment.
Creative Technologies MA/MSc is suitable for a wide range of students, from a variety of backgrounds across Technology, the Digital Arts and Design and Humanities who are interested in exploring the trans/multi/inter-disciplinary potential of creative technologies in their work. At the heart of this Masters programme is the vision of students fully in tune with contemporary creative technologies. Students do not sit solely within the traditional disciplines - you may be a technologist with a creative dimension, or an artist working with technologies, or a designer with programming skills, or any one of many more such 'crossovers'. The central vision of the IOCT Masters, therefore, is one of convergence and trans/inter/multi-disciplinarity, enabled by the latest technologies.
The course is suitable for students from a variety of sectors; graduates wishing to pursue postgraduate study with a view to increasing their employability within the creative technology and digital cultural industries, mature students with existing postgraduate degrees who wish to expand their interdisciplinary portfolio and company-sponsored professionals working in creative technology industries. The degree supports a range of contemporary career choices demonstrating the incorporation of computational intelligence, artificial intelligence, virtual environments, immersive media, entertainment and gamification. IOCT Alumni have gone on to careers with companies including Jaguar Land Rover, BBC, Sky, The Farm and Abbey Road as well as successful freelance careers and careers in creative technologies research through ongoing PhD studies.
