Computer Arts at Abertay covers a wide range of applied and theoretical research. With the launch of their Computer Arts degree programme in 1999, 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, students will be supported to conduct this research by world-leading expertise in computer arts and computer games education, their connections with key industry partners, and the specialist computer arts studios and game development facilities.
