BA (Hons) Digital Technology (Design) is designed with the future in mind. You'll learn state-of-the-art expertise in the evolving creative industry of technology, practice and art. BA (Hons) Digital Technology (Design) provides a unique opportunity to study, learn and work at the interface of technology and the creative industries in an arts university context.

Three reasons to study BA (Hons) Digital Technology (Design) at AUB:

Digital technology is a sector that has seen £50 billion of investment in the last few years, and is growing all the time. In developing the course, we've discussed the need for graduate skills in this area with industry professionals, learned about predictions for future job markets and carefully considered how the creative industries will evolve in the future.

We value playfulness and experimentation. To some people, technology can seem too precious to experiment with. What if we break it? What if we cant repair it again? We value playfulness as a way to generate ideas and create new ways to communicate ideas and build engagement with what we create. Our curriculum includes theories of communication, coding, critical theory and design history, but we also encourage students to learn through doing, and through trial and error. This way, you can find your own ways to use technology that others haven't thought of yet.

You'll work alongside BA (Hons) Sustainable Design. Just as professional designers collaborate freely across different disciplines, we study alongside the different courses here at AUB. In addition to our innovative Graduate Futures programme, which brings different courses to together regularly, you'll work closely with BA (Hons) Sustainable Design students in a shared studio space. This gives you great opportunities to think about issues from different points of view. You can gain a clearer perspective on sustainability issues, and BA (Hons) Sustainable Design students can benefit from input about technologies that they may not otherwise consider.

Assessment and feedback

Each unit is assessed separately, and the assessment forms part of the unit. Assessment both provides a measure of your achievement, and also gives you regular feedback on how your learning is developing.

For every unit of your course, we'll inform you of what you're expected to learn what you have to submit how your work will be assessed and the deadline for presenting your work for assessment. This is made available through Unit Information, which is on your course blog.

Career destinations

Advertised vacancies for UK digital technology roles grew almost five times faster than the UK economy average between 2017 and 2019 and this exponential growth continues with graduates transforming the creative industries by technology, and taking a lead role in the co-creation of tech products and services.

BA (Hons) Digital Technology (Design) graduates are well-positioned to take their expertise into sectors such as design, crafts, music, museums, fashion, film, TV and radio, music and entertainment, research and development, esports, marketing tech, architecture, AR and VR, adtech, gaming and media.
