Digital Media Culture and Technology

Summary

The BA Digital Media Culture and Technology blends creative practice, technical skills, and media theory at Royal Holloway's Media Arts department. You can learn to code, create websites, apps, games, 3D models, digital narratives, and work with AI. All while exploring the social, cultural, political, ethical, and other implications of digital technologies. 

This degree will ensure you can navigate a fast changing technological world, while providing essential skills to shape what happens next. Worlds of social media, gaming, media streaming, digital art, big data, and government are shaped by computer networks, algorithms, artificial intelligence, and technological standards are all driving a technological revolution while redefining what it means to be human.

This degree helps you to excel in digital production within a broad range of industries, across a fast changing technological domain. Our graduates have gone on to work with Google, TikTok, and BBC Radio 1, the Labour Party, Joe Media, Capgemini, KPMG, and social media fame. As a member of our academic community, you can use our vast network of connections after you leave. Also, our emphasis on project-based learning means you will make connections with many other students.

The possibilities for graduates of DMCT are vast.
