Creative Computing with a Foundation Year

The BSc Creative Computing is an exciting mix of computing and creative practice set in the context of a world-renowned creative university. You will learn to code, build apps, craft digital experiences, explore machine intelligence and more. You will acquire a contemporary set of applied computing skills covering the dominant coding languages and workflows that support innovation in the digital technology sector and creative practice. Building on these skills, and through creative practice, you will also develop your ability to innovate. This will enable you to understand and explore the cultural agency of computational technology. Engagement with creative practice also builds your ability to self-reflect and think critically about your role in shaping the world. This integration of computational and creative practice will ensure you have the opportunity to build a successful career in creative practice, the creative industries or within the digital technology sector more broadly. This course includes an integrated Foundation Year. This course is also available without a Foundation Year; search for Creative Computing at UAL and you will find this option. Changes for CCI from September 2027 From September 2027 we will no longer be teaching courses within the Creative Computing Institute (CCI). Courses will continue but instead will be taught by London College of Communication (LCC) in a cutting-edge new building (www.arts.ac.ukcollegeslondon-college-of-communicationabout-lcclcc-new-building). The Creative Computing Institute will become a dedicated research-focused institute located within LCC. Students who begin a CCI course in September 2026 that’s longer than 12 months will move to LCC from September 2027 for the remainder of the course. Those students graduate from LCC and become members of the LCC alumni community.
