What you study	Computer Games Media and Communication Studies	Design Entrepreneurship Fine Art	Business Studies Computer Games Information Systems Media and Communication Studies
What it is	You study how digital media and games work as storytelling and communication tools, combining the technical and creative sides of game design with the study of how media shapes culture and meaning. This program emphasizes both making and analyzing — you learn to create interactive work while understanding the theory behind it, rather than focusing only on coding or only on critique. It suits people who want to explore how games and digital media tell stories and influence audiences, and who are comfortable working across both artistic and analytical thinking.	Creative Technologies is a visual arts and design degree that combines fine art, graphic design, and digital media with entrepreneurship skills so you can develop creative work and understand how to turn ideas into projects or businesses. Unlike a straight fine arts program, it emphasizes the practical and business side of creative work. It suits people who want to make art or design but also care about how creative work reaches audiences and generates opportunity.	You study how to design, build, and produce video games and interactive digital media. This program combines computer programming and game design with business and media skills, so you learn both the technical side and the creative direction needed to develop games professionally. It suits people who want to work in game studios or media companies and enjoy problem-solving through coding as much as visual storytelling.
