Our MA Creative Technologies course is an opportunity to design your own project to explore, based on your area of interest within the creative technologies. The aim of this degree is to promote research and innovation in the use of creative technologies, enabling you to take the next exciting step in your career.
This course is delivered in partnership with Nottingham Trent University (NTU). Your degree will be delivered at Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies (NTU's Creative Quarter Campus) and NTU's City Campus, and validated by NTU.
Who is this course designed for?
The course is suitable for graduates from BA or BSc courses in a related area, such as (but not limited to) music technology, film production, TV production technology, music performance, games production, games art, VFX technology production and, live and technical events.
It's also suitable for professionals working within creative technologies, who aspire to senior management positions. Our part-time route will be delivered predominantly outside of core working hours, helping you balance the demands of work alongside postgraduate study.

Significant support is in place to support students returning to higher education after a significant break, or pursuing study for the first time.

Should I apply for the MA or MSc Creative Technologies degree?
By offering the MA or the MSc, we're offering you the option to select which course aligns best to your previous area of study, and your speciality within the discipline. For example, it's expected that a BSc Music Technology student would normally choose MSc Creative Technologies, and a Music Performance student would normally choose the MA Creative Technologies. A student with a technological focus to their project would be advised to choose the MSc and a student with an art and design focus would be advised to pursue the MA.
If you'd like further advice before submitting an application, please get in touch with our course leader, Dr Lindsay Davies: [email protected], who can advise on your specific interests and requirements.
