BSc (Hons.) Digital Art & Technology (formerly BSc MediaLab Arts) is one of the top three new-media design courses in the UK, with an established record for enabling high-profile careers in web design, digital TV, gaming, audio production and mobile phone applications. Through a critical combination of creative design and digital technologies we are creating the designers of the future.

“The BSc (Hons) Digital Art & Technology degree (formerly known as Media Lab Arts) is best understood as a metaphor...
Digital Art & Technology is a car crash between two vehicles traveling at extraordinary speeds that take four years to happen. In one car are internationally recognized computer scientists able to teach programming and control of visual media.

In the other are artists, musicians, theorists and designers who are determined to reinvent how art, language and human beings are represented in the 21st century.

Miraculously everyone walks away from the crash unscarred, and from the wreckage emerges a software artist able to operate at an exceptionally creative level in both corporate and cultural industries. "This is one of the best courses in the country, the course is well run by careful and committed staff. There is a good mix of theory and practical work not always achieved in studio based courses. The standards the students reach are high. The University should be proud of this award"
