Creative Computing with Integrated Foundation Year Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Develop your skills by entering the creative industries on an Integrated Foundation Year degree.

If you’re interested in taking on a new subject that you’ve not had the opportunity to study in depth before, or have been out of education for a while, then our Integrated Foundation Year courses might be for you. These four-year courses include an introductory year to help you build the core skills needed for specialist degree-level study.

This is a chance for you to let your imagination run wild and explore your creativity, expand your professional skills and develop enhanced subject knowledge in the domain you want to study. We’ll help nurture your expertise in problem solving, risk-taking, designing and making as you develop your abilities through five core modules.

After your foundation year, you’ll have a deeper knowledge of your subject, a clear understanding of your strengths, a developed practical and technical skill set and the confidence to excel in your chosen degree subject when you join other students for the rest of your course.

Where wires cross, ideas spark.

Creative Computing is for curious minds who view technology as a limitless canvas. At Falmouth University, you’ll experiment with technology to build digital experiences that excite audiences in new ways. Discover how computation can reimagine art, design and storytelling, whilst asking the big questions about how technology is shaping our culture and society.  

Collaboration is at the heart of the course. You will work across creative disciplines to explore creative coding, interactive systems, digital storytelling and immersive media, gaining hands-on experience with web technologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality and augmented reality environments alongside physical computing. 

Creative Computing graduates step into the world as innovators: experimental, ethically aware, and confident at crossing disciplinary boundaries. As a creative technologist, you'll be able to pursue digital storytelling, virtual production, immersive experiences, or interactive art. You’ll also be able to explore opportunities in games, apps, shows, media, festivals, exhibitions, visual effects and the wider creative technology sector
