Creative Computing (Hons) Norwich University of the Arts

Overview

The Creative Computing (Hons) degree course from Norwich University of the Arts has been developed in response to increasing employer demand for graduates who ‘create’ using programming as their medium. 

You will develop projects to industry briefs and gain an understanding of the potential for – and theory of – computer-based technology in a wide range of digital creative and design sectors.

Key Features

Through practical project work, you’ll develop core computational thinking and become adept with a range of industry-standard creative platforms. For example, applying coding and creative skills to creative web and app work while thinking about interaction, image and text.

You will explore data from both open and closed networks: finding patterns in data, learning to use data ethically, and exploring why data can exclude rather than explain. You will develop algorithmic thinking and more advanced forms of algorithmic programming. As with all Norwich University of the Arts courses, you’re learning experience will be hands-on.

Careers

Employability and entrepreneurship sessions will allow you to develop excellent transferrable skills in teamwork, project management, communication and problem-solving; and you will have opportunities to work with digital creative businesses in the University’s network.

In your final year you’ll produce a research report on a relevant area of theory, industry or practice, realise a significant portfolio project of your own choosing and develop a career plan that will help launch you from graduation into industry.

As a graduate of the course, you’ll be a technology-led creative professional, with top-level creative design and coding skills to embark on a graduate career in creative software development, immersive experiences, digital media, emerging technology, AI and machine learning. This course will also give you the skills and confidence to take roles and opportunities at the forefront of the discipline yet to be defined.
