Learning

You'll develop skills to question, experiment, and transform the future of art, media, and design. Learning through code and computation underpins the curriculum. 

You'll gain hands-on experience in: 

  • Creative coding 
  • Computational design 
  • Artificial intelligence 
  • Physical computing 
  • Networked technologies 
  • Digital performance 

Alongside technical practice, you will cultivate the critical frameworks needed to interrogate the cultural, social, and ethical dimensions of your work.

You'll benefit from virtual reality and augmented reality suites, cybersecurity testing environments, and collaborative maker spaces for prototyping and experimentation. Goldsmiths’ digital infrastructure, including high-speed networks and access to industry-standard tools, ensures students have the resources to bring their ideas to life.

You'll also have access to specialist software, online learning platforms, and dedicated support for developing digital and entrepreneurial skills. Campus-wide services, including the Library, Careers Service, and Goldsmiths’ Digital Studios, provide additional training and resources for content production and communication.

Our curriculum balances technical proficiency with creative exploration. 

Graduates leave prepared to innovate across the creative industries.

At Goldsmiths, you’ll immerse yourself in a subject you love within a welcoming and creative campus community.

Based in South East London, our vibrant setting connects you directly to the capital’s business, technology, and cultural networks. Your learning goes far beyond the classroom through partnerships, guest lectures, and real-world industry experience.

You’ll be supported by inspiring academics, dedicated staff, and fellow students who are passionate about making a difference. And because we’re in London – ranked the world’s number one student city (QS Best Student Cities 2025) – you’ll benefit from our close links with some of the capital’s leading creative and cultural organisations.

Discover the campus for yourself with our Virtual Tour.
