Offered on Pietermaritzburg Campus

The undergraduate major encompasses two areas of study: a creative component aimed at helping students develop the skills needed to exploit the multi-creative possibilities that have been unleashed by the digital revolution and a theoretical component which contextualizes the creative practices of Digital Arts in terms of its historical and contemporary discourses. The undergraduate programme consists of 10 modules, 3 taken in the 1st year of study, 3 in the 2nd and 4 in the 3rd. These modules are divided into 4 “theory” modules and 4 “practical” modules, although this is a very loose distinction, since the theory modules incorporate a certain amount of practical work and the practical components draw on and extend students’ theoretical understanding.
