This course recognises that the internet and associated technologies offer the artist and designer new opportunities for the creation and dissemination of work. The course is aimed at those who wish to acquire a broad professional basis in the expanding creative internet and new media technologies. It offers exciting possibilities for collaborative ventures between scientific and artistic disciplines.
You will work alongside MA Art and Design students, with an emphasis on the relationships between practice, theory and internet programming. Like art and design students, you will be encouraged to articulate contemporary art and design discourse and locate your work in a cultural and critical context.
You will not only be able to draw on expertise in art and design theory and practice, but also expertise in computing. The staff team is made up of professional practitioners and researchers, and there are strong links with both the Research Institute for Media, Art and Design and the Institute for Research in Applicable Computing.

Assessment
Assessment is conceived to emanate naturally from the teaching and learning and as such is an intrinsic part of the learning experience. You should, provided you have engaged in the course, be able to meet the demands of formal summative assessment in your stride. The requirements for assessment range through the types listed below.
Since self-directed practical projects are at the heart of learning activities they will logically be the subject of assessment. Formative and summative assessments of practical assignments are seen as an important method of ensuring your understanding, developing relevant cognitive and practical skills and of ensuring personal creative development and progress.
Continuous appraisal by both peer review and your tutors is a feature of the course and although there are no end-point examinations, summative assessment is carried out in relation the work that you produce as part of the course. This will predominantly be based on an accumulation of the work that is done as a result of a research enquiry that is initiated and developed by you engaging in a range of activities as part of its production.
The following are examples of the various assessment methods used:
* Coursework to include examples of, creative practice in an appropriate medium, associated research material, notebooks, research reports, essays, contextual writing
* Assessments based on individual presentations
* Portfolio reviews are a key means of assessing but they are also important for collating work for presentation in a professional context, such as an interview
* Essays and reports feature in developing your writing skills, helping you to express ideas in a variety of ways and styles and to develop academic writing skills that are of particular benefit in producing the a contextual rationale for your major project
