MA/MSc Full-Time Studentships
Masters in Creative Technologies
Institute of Creative Technologies
De Montfort University, Leicester

Are you a technologist with a creative dimension? An artist working with technologies? A designer with programming skills, or any one of many more such ‘crossovers’?

The Institute Of Creative Technologies at De Montfort University is offering twelve full-time Masters level studentships for their Masters in Creative Technologies (MA/MSc) for the coming academic year 2008-2009. The studentships are worth £10,000 each and are available at UK/EU full-time rates due to funding restrictions.

New technologies are transforming the world of human creativity in ways unimagined just a few years ago. To some, this is an end in itself. To us, this is just the beginning. The Institute Of Creative Technologies (IOCT) is a unique research environment, which aims to make connections between people, ideas, and technologies by crossing traditional boundaries. It works at the intersection of arts, science and technological research and fosters collaboration and cooperation through interdisciplinary projects and programmes of activities.

The IOCT Masters in Creative Technologies is a unique, groundbreaking and innovative Masters programme. Delivered from the Institute of Creative Technologies, the course is run in partnership between three Faculties: Art and Design, Computing Sciences and Engineering and Humanities. The Masters brings together eScience, Digital Arts and Design and Humanities in a way that crosses traditional disciplines and boundaries and is designed to support students in developing and strengthening their individual creative technologies practice within the context of the increasingly multi/inter/trans disciplinary environments and collaborative digital world. The central vision of the IOCT Masters is one of convergence and trans/inter/multi disciplinarity, enabled by the new
technologies.

We welcome studentship applications from individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, who are interested in developing multidisciplinary knowledge and skills in the production of digital media and products.

The IOCT currently has more than one hundred researchers working on dozens of active projects and with expertise across a wide range of areas. We have high-profile Visiting Professors and Research Fellows, affiliated Research Centres focused upon specific subjects, a cohort of PhD researchers, and a Masters programme that is taught across three Faculties. We actively engage with local industry, and have close relationships with several large companies, SMEs, and government organisations.

For further details about the course and to apply for the full-time studentships offered, contact Sophy Smith at ssmith05@dmu.ac.uk or have a look at our website at www.ioct.dmu.ac.uk/masters.htm

The deadline for applications is 4pm, Monday 7th July 2008.
