About us
The School of Creative Technologies was created in 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.
We cover 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 School, with a particular focus on supporting these areas with appropriate technologies and developing an enterprising attitude.
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 highly entrepreneurial and willing to work hard in their chosen areas.
