With an emphasis on the latest technological advances ‐ including computation, digital fabrication, robotics, and virtual reality ‐ the MA/MSc in Art and Technology offers a space to engage critically with the political, social and cultural implications of technology.
Core to the programme is an experimental and exploratory approach that aims to speculate and engage with the limits of what is possible in technologically sophisticated art and media, from both an artistic and technical perspective.
Centering around the student’s studio practice and portfolio development, the course places an emphasis on innovation and creative strategies. Students will develop their practice through creative research and an exchange of dialogue between peers, visiting artists and faculty.

The programme is delivered through an innovative 12 month structure which begins with an intensive two week bootcamp that introduces students to the facilities and support available and establishes the common technical foundations for the programme. Following this students focus on the core aspects of critical theory, creative coding, physical computing, audio, and video.
In the second semester, through small group teaching and specialist seminars and workshops, students explore the integration of advanced topics in areas including digital fabrication, composition, game design and coding in their practice. Students also begin the development of their major research project.
The student’s final project and thesis is developed over the summer months and presented in a showcase exhibition at the end of August.
