About Bachelor of Arts (Digital Arts and Technology), Bachelor - at University of Galway

How are our lives, society, and culture shaped by digital technologies? How can these technologies expand our creative powers? How can they be used to help us to understand our world and environment, to preserve and explore our cultural heritage, and to create and share our knowledge? These are questions that guide the unique blend of study and practice-based learning central to the BA Digital Arts and Technology programme.

The programme allows you to pursue an interest in arts and humanities (you will complete a full programme in an Arts subject of your choice), combined with a training in information technology. In addition, in a series of courses unique to the programme, you will examine the influence and creative possibilities of the digital culture in which we are immersed, examining everything from social media and AI through to interactive media, cultural heritage, and remix culture. You will study the impact of digital technology from a historical, cultural, and philosophical perspective, and you will also gain skills and practice in programming, creative coding, web development, and digital content creation (in video, graphic design, and podcasting).

In Year 3 of the programme students can avail of placement opportunities, in which you will either take on a work placement with an appropriate company / cultural institution or a period of international study in a university in Europe. The aim of the placement year is to add to your practical skills, expand your personal networks and enhance your employability.
