Undergraduate

New Media Art (3rd Year Entry)

UK University

Overview

New Media Art (3rd Year Entry) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Media Studies mixes production work with theory, and the equipment and studio access differ sharply between departments.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
