Course content

This programme lets you explore the space of contemporary thinking about computers, networked communications, ubiquitous media and social media. It includes compulsory coursework, option courses and the opportunity for original research, packaged in manageable work units.

You will be researching alongside students studying more technical courses, and can dip into these. The programme examines theories and philosophies of digital media, technological change, the mass media, gaming, data mining, computation, artificial intelligence, and the social and cultural contexts in which such developments take place.

Students of this programme will be part of a dynamic community of researchers, exploring many aspects of computing: its social ramifications, social media, the world of e-commerce, e-entrepreneurship, e-learning, project-based composition and artistic works, digital architecture and urbanism, new media consumption practices, the co-creation of media, changes to the household, links between vision and sound, and more.

Students on the programme benefit from access to a broad range of expertise and research in digital media and culture.
