BSc Creative Media Technologies
About this course
Creative media technologies sits at the intersection of artistic practice and technical innovation, encompassing the digital tools and methods used to create, distribute, and interact with media in an increasingly screen-dominated world. The field spans video production, motion graphics, interactive media, augmented and virtual reality, game design, and the emerging forms of content creation that are redefining how audiences consume information and entertainment. Practitioners in this field need to be both technically competent and creatively ambitious, and this programme at Portsmouth develops both dimensions. You will study the technical foundations of digital media production alongside the creative and conceptual skills needed to design compelling and original content. The curriculum engages with how creative technologies are transforming industry and society, examining the way new tools and platforms are changing the relationship between creators and audiences. Practical project work is central throughout, and you will build a portfolio of work that demonstrates your abilities to potential employers. A sandwich year in industry and a work placement are built into the three-year programme, giving you professional experience in media production, technology, or related sectors, and a year abroad broadens your creative and cultural perspective. Graduates work across the creative and technology industries, including film and television production, game development, interactive design, advertising, digital marketing, broadcasting, and the emerging sectors built around immersive media. The combination of creative thinking and technical skill is particularly valuable in contexts where content must be both innovative and effectively executed. Many graduates find roles in content creation, production management, UX design, and digital communications. Further study at postgraduate level in media production, interactive design, or digital arts is also an option.
