About Manchester Metropolitan University
What's new
New School of Digital Arts launched by Lord Mandelson
The University’s Chancellor launched Manchester Metropolitan’s ground breaking new School of Digital Arts (SODA) recently this September.
SODA is an interdisciplinary school that will bring together art and design with technology and computing under one roof – fusing the creative with the digital - a first in UK higher education.
Previously known as the International Screen School, SODA is a GBP35m investment into workspaces, networks, teaching and research that will help to plug the growing digital skills gap.
SODA will open its doors in 2021, producing over 1000 graduates annually with expertise in disciplines that span film, animation, UX design, photography, games design, AI and more, often working on live projects with industry partners.
