The line between creativity and technology is increasingly blurred. Technology provides new possibilities for artists – as new avenues for expressing their ideas, and for promoting and distributing their work. Creativity combined with technical computing mastery will also pave the way for better functionality, innovative new software and new ways to tackle everyday computing problems.
This full-time, one year foundation course enables you to bridge the gap between the fundamental knowledge and practice in developing your creativity. There will be ample opportunities to generate ideas and conceptual designs. At the same time, you will be introduced to a broad range of technical skills required for a degree in computing, communications or game development.
