Here's what Royal Holloway, University of London says about its Digital Media Culture and Technology course.
The BA Digital Media Culture and Technology blends creative practice, technical skills, and media theory at Royal Holloway's Media Arts department. You can learn to code, create websites, apps, games, 3D models, digital narratives, and work with AI. All while exploring the social, cultural, political, ethical, and other implications of digital technologies.
This degree will ensure you can navigate a fast changing technological world, while providing essential skills to shape what happens next. Worlds of social media, gaming, media streaming, digital art, big data, and government are shaped by computer networks, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and technological standards are all driving a technological revolution while redefining what it means to be human.
This degree helps you to excel in digital production within a broad range of industries, across a fast changing technological domain. Our graduates have gone on to work with Google, TikTok, and BBC Radio 1, the Labour Party, Joe Media, Capgemini, KPMG, and social media fame. As a member of our academic community, you can use our vast network of connections after you leave. Also, our emphasis on project-based learning means you will make connections with many other students.
The possibilities for graduates of DMCT are vast. The UK's creative industries are its fastest-growing economic sector with an annual economic contribution of £124.6bn, according to official UK government figures. By 2030, this industry is estimated to grow by 50% and add a million new jobs. This degree will prepare you for an exciting new career in that lucrative world.
We offer a wide range of core and optional modules to tailor your degree to your interests. In the first year, you'll study the history of digital media, creative coding, web and game design, and media theory. In the second year, you'll work on a data visualisation project, explore narrative structures in screen-based media, produce a three-day digital festival, and learn about digital aesthetics and software politics. In the third year, you will be supported to produce an advanced digital media project or dissertation, with optional modules that expand possibilities for your career.
Emphasis on project-based learning. Study how digital media works on both aesthetic and technical levels. Industry involvement from our outstanding networks. Immersion in 24-7 state-of-the-art media arts facilities.
From time to time, we make changes to our courses to improve the student and learning experience. If we make a significant change to your chosen course, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.

Things a little expensive but there's always something on. Summer Ball ticketing is a bit of a joke. They offer a certain number of cheaper tickets early but you have to be lightning fast to secure the.ticket at th e cheaper price. Plenty of variety and bars eating and shops
