BA (Hons) Art and Design at Birmingham City University

I have always been interested in the ways that different artists have used creative technologies in their work. So I really wanted to learn more about how I could incorporate that into my practice. A standout thing would be working on the Boomtown project, which is where we had to design the escape room.

What you will study

I looked all over the world for a course that would let me experiment and learn with my different interests in art and design and found that there is no course quite like this one. Even though my peers and I are all doing the same course we learn and develop different things because this course supports us through our unique interests and prepares us for our future. Centred around collaboration, with just one year on the course I can already see my confidence growing not only towards my profession but how I present myself and interact with people in everyday life. Modules include Thought Lab, Materials Lab, Digital Lab, Performance Lab, Nature Lab, Speculative Lab, Live Project: Local, Live Project: National.
