About the course

Our Computing with Creative Design degree will enable you to develop your computing skills with a particular focus on the creative and design opportunities that are presented within the discipline.

　　In addition to learning the fundamentals of developing computer-based and software-driven systems, you will be encouraged to incorporate modern design thinking into your technical work. During the programme students will be introduced to key Human-computer interaction principles exploring how design is used for user ​experience (UX) and interaction.

　　You will be introduced to a wide range of technologies and tools that facilitate the design and creation of new hardware and software solutions, helping you develop your analytical abilities whilst looking at human-centred design processes. This will enable you to establish yourself as a ‘hybrid’ individual, well equipped to bridge the gap between the technical and creative worlds to create innovative solutions to problems old and new.

　　You will also have the opportunity to work collaboratively with other schools to help foster your skills in other disciplines. In particular our Computing with Creative Design degree has a partnership with programmes in the Cardiff School of Art and Design to allow students to build further on creative skills. With access to both the cutting-edge new facilities of our School of Technologies, and the open spaces for creative design in our School of Art and Design, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds. All this will prepare you for exciting career paths bridging the gap between the technical and the creative worlds.
