This is a potential research degree area, subject to the approval of the University. Computer Arts at Abertay covers a wide range of applied and theoretical research. With more than two decades of experience in computer games education, Abertay helped to pioneer the development of academic study for artists engaged with new and emergent media technologies. Today, this broad field of artistic practice underpins not only research in digital creativity and audience engagement, but also creative industries such as graphic design, animation, film and television, visual effects, and computer games. At Abertay, you will be supported to conduct this research by world-leading expertise in computer arts and computer games education, connections with key industry partners, and specialist computer arts studios and game development facilities. Abertay University is the lead partner for InGAME: Innovation for Games and Media Enterprise, an AHRC-funded R&D centre for Dundee’s games cluster. Postgraduate students at the University will have access to research and development opportunities, as well as contact with professionals working within the games industry.

Credits for this course are estimated upon European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS).
