Creative Computing

Undergraduate study

A robot that holds your gaze. A 3D-printed heart that tests the power of a hug. Live captions that keep up with the lecture. This is what CCI students build. Arrive already coding or never having written a line and join a community where you’re given the tools and support to follow your ideas.

Kickstart your career in tech

Our undergraduate courses blend the rigour of computing with artistic exploration, giving you the freedom to experiment, invent, and disrupt the norm. You'll learn to build entire interactive systems: the code, the hardware and the experience people have with it.

Whichever course you choose, you'll study at a world leading arts university and learn by making, with expert technicians, dedicated course leaders and a community always ready to help. Join us in September 2027.
