About CCTA

The Centre for Creative Technologies + Applications

The Centre for Creative Technologies and Applications is the research centre for the School of Creative Technologies at IADT. The CCTA seeks to draw together the expertise and research interests of the academic staff and post graduate students in the School.

Creative Technologies is people centred technology in a digital environment. Our goal, through both our taught programmes and research is to explore the interaction of people and technology. This goal finds expression in a range of existing disciplines such as Audio/Visual Technologies, Gaming, Multimedia, Psychology, eLearning, Assistive Technologies, Teaching and Learning, eBusiness; and emerging disciplines such as cyberpsychology.

The School of Creative Technologies offers highly innovative programmes across a range of disciplines in psychology, applied computing and digital media. There are small class sizes and a project-oriented approach. This makes for a very stimulating learning environment for students, which prepares them particularly well for the world of work. For example projects addressing the design and development of games, e-learning products and mobile applications have been undertaken to a very high standard.

The School’s programmes combine technical skill and knowledge with an understanding of the context within which creative technology operates in society. In all of our areas of activity there is a strong emphasis on the human dimension to technology. Our taught programmes include:

BEng in Audiovisual Media Technology
BSc Computing in Multimedia Programming
BSc (Hons) in Computing in Multimedia Systems
BSc (Hons) in Web Engineering
BSc (Hons) in Psychology Applied to Information Technology/BSc (Hons) Applied Psychology (from 2008)
