BSc Creative Computing

Applications are open for the Creative Computing BSc programme at Winchester School of Art. This programme sits at the intersection of creative art and design practice and new technologies. Students take an exploratory and experimental approach to designing and implementing immersive, engaging experiences and applications. The programme develops creative, technical and intellectual strengths in design and systems thinking, and students work with industry-standard technologies and a wide range of workshops and facilities to construct digital projects that go beyond the screen. In a newly refurbished, dedicated building there is space to engage with robotics, e-textiles, electronic sensors, XR and 3D printing.

Specialist staff support students’ creative, practical and critical projects and their engagement with industries. Activities beyond the university are encouraged and supported throughout the programme, with philosophical and ethical engagement with contemporary technology and systems.

The Creative Computing BSc shares a common framework of module structures and learning outcomes with other undergraduate programmes at Winchester School of Art. This means students will be able to collaborate easily across disciplines, embed key skills throughout the programme and choose from a range of interdisciplinary and collaborative projects.

Learning on the BSc Creative Computing is student-centred and project-led. The programme focuses on students’ development as individuals, helping them to identify and pursue their own strengths and aptitudes in technical and creative work, and supporting their professional development and ambitions. Winchester School of Art graduates have a strong record of employability. Winchester School of Art is part of the University of Southampton, a member of the Russell Group of 24 leading universities across the UK, defined by excellence, impact, opportunity and scale, combining world-class research, innovation and education.

The programme in Winchester, one hour from London, is connected with its twin BSc Creative Computing programme at the University of Southampton Delhi campus in New Delhi, India, with student exchanges and collaborations across the two programmes.
