What will I learn?

BA (Hons) Digital Art with Integrated Foundation Year and Professional Practice Year is a five-year degree programme, including a foundation year to help develop your skills and creativity before you start the first year of the degree course and your fourth year would be an industry placement to further develop your skills and CV.Push the boundaries of art, tech, and creation.Digital art isn't all about the screen. It's about using technology to create things that make people think – installations that respond to your body, soundscapes built from data, sculptures wired with sensors, VR environments that challenge how you see the world. If it’s digital, and it’s artistic, and it means something to you – you can pursue it here.You'll work across every medium imaginable – code and clay, VR headsets and hand tools, sound design and live performance. From first year, you're collaborating with students from Computer Science, Craft, Animation, and Fine Art, learning to think in ways that change what you're able to make. Learning here happens in sprints: a burst of intensive input, then studio time to build, test, break things, and start again – just like it happens in the industry. That’s why our graduates regularly go on to work at the BBC, The Guardian, Amazon, LUSH, and Audible – as motion designers, UX designers, creative directors, and filmmakers. That’s why our alumni include His Dark Materials director Will McGregor, and why ISEA International, the global network for art, science, and technology, is headquartered right here on campus.
