Bring together creativity, design and technology to explore new ways of creating engaging digital experiences.
Build immersive and engaging digital experiences that bring art and technology together in our Creative Computing BSc (Hons) degree. The programme develops creative, technical and intellectual strengths drawing on industry-standard technology and philosophical and ethical approaches.
You will take the construction of digital projects to the screen and beyond using sculpture and fabrication. The programme will enhance strengths and skills in design and systems thinking, to bring focus on programming skills, user experience design, and building digital projects. You will research the aesthetic, sustainable, and political aspects of computer media formats including networks, social media, digital games and open source and activist initiatives.
As a creative computing student, you will benefit from:
The Creative Computing BSc (Hons) degree programme structure includes the study of creative computing through coding, user experience design, making and research.
You will learn principles of programming for creative technological applications such as visual coding, AI, augmented reality, robotics and pervasive computing. You will study relevant theories and test out your skills.
Workshops and lectures will help you build on your technical expertise and follow your interests through a project. You will engage with user experience research and interactive systems, extending your knowledge and critical understanding of the creative industries, contexts for creative production, you gain employability skills.
A major project helps you to discover your creative insights and technical skills in depth – in an area that correlates with your own interests and career ambitions.
Students take a number of core and compulsory modules before selecting optional modules based on their interest. The programmes are designed to ensure that students gain the fundamentals of their discipline and then add specialisation and perspective through available optional modules.
The Programme Description Document contains an overview of the programme, its aims, information on programme modules and shows how we assess student progress as they learn with us.
As a research-led University, we undertake a continuous review of our programmes to ensure quality enhancement and to manage our resources. As a result, this programme may be revised during a student’s period of registration; however, any revision will be balanced against the requirement that the student should receive the educational service expected. Please read our Disclaimer to see why, when, and how changes may be made to a student’s programme.
Our academics explain more about this Creative Computing BSc (Hons) degree programme on our YouTube channel.
A key aim of programmes is to prepare students to think and operate globally. So each year, we select a small number of undergraduate students who we feel would benefit from a short period of academic study at a University of Southampton campus in the UK.
We may offer one semester overseas, as part of the second year of undergraduate study, giving students invaluable international exposure. The overseas semester does not add any additional time to the programme – it simply replaces a semester that would have been studied in Delhi with a semester in the UK. And because programmes in India follow the same academic calendar, include equivalent content, and are taught to the same high academic standards as those in the UK, international mobility of this kind only serves to enhance students’ learning, cultural experiences and employability after graduation.
The selection of students for a semester abroad depends on academic performance during the first year, with programme leads making recommendations for the decision to offer overseas study to a particular student.
Students in Delhi are part of the global University of Southampton academic family from the day they enrol. Which means that they not only have the chance to network with Indian students across the world, but are ready as Delhi alumni for the next stage of their educational journey.
A graduate holding a bachelors degree from University of Southampton Delhi is already well-positioned to access and benefit from a master’s programme in the UK, Malaysia or indeed in India. Programme leaders will advise undergraduates throughout their programme in Delhi how to make the most of enhanced progression routes for postgraduate programmes.
We are mandated by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to deliver the equivalent programme and quality as we offer in the UK. To match the programme lengths of internationally respected UK awarded degrees, the BSc (Hons) Creative Computing degree has a duration of three years.
We are a top 20 UK university for employability (QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2022) and offer extensive support for today’s competitive and rapidly changing financial landscape.
Creative Computing BSc (Hons) degree students will graduate with industry-ready programming skills, and will have focussed on user experience design, physical fabrication or project management. All will have extensive experience in team production and hence of working within and towards computational-based projects.
The Creative Computing degree offers career-focused study for employment in a wide range of industries. Creative Computing BSc (Hons) degree graduates commonly work in a range of organisations or sectors including:
Our proprietary Southampton skills model is integrated into our curriculum. When you join us, you’ll be able to use our skills model to track, plan, and benefit your career development and progress.
As well as support from the Careers and Employability team in Delhi, you’ll have access to our market-leading employability development offering. This includes:
With links to multinational and industrial organisations, we enable you to engage with employers and explore potential career paths. We also host regular alumni events in-person across major cities in India, allowing you to grow your own networks. Our support is ongoing, and once you graduate, you’ll be part of a global community of over 220,000 alumni that spans over 180 countries.
Students with overall academic scores for Grade 12 and including a creative, humanities, and/or computing subject can apply for the Creative Computing BSc (Hons) degree.
Eligibility criteria for the Academic Year 2027 will be announced shortly.

Apply nowAn Honours degree, shown with (Hons) in the programme title, mean that students will understand the fundamentals of their discipline and then build specialisation and perspective through optional modules. These fast-paced, intense programmes deliver essential learning in the first academic year and offer optional course modules, or electives, in the second year. Honours degrees are offered at University of Southampton campuses across the world, reflecting teaching and learning to a higher academic standard, meaning that an Honours degree would hold more value post graduation for future study and career development.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has mandated University of Southampton Delhi to make sure that programmes delivered in India are the same as those delivered at University of Southampton in the UK. Three years is the standard length of an undergraduate Honours degree in England where University of Southampton sets academic standards. This 3 year length reflects a trend towards accelerated learning where students see a return on their tuition fees as quickly as possible, whilst still maintaining high academic standards and the quality of the degree awarded. University of Southampton 3 year undergraduate degrees, and 1 year postgraduate degrees, are accepted widely internationally.
Degrees with a BA and BSc award do not represent a stream, but a broad categorisation that reflects student choice and leaning. Our BSc (Hons) and BEng (Hons) undergraduate degrees are oriented towards specialist, technical roles in industry with an analytical approach, not science subjects.
Our programmes are designed to make sure that students quickly understand the fundamentals of their discipline, and then build specialisation and perspective through electives, or optional, modules. These optional modules are typically offered in academic years 2 and 3, adding depth and breadth to core learning from previous years. As these options are often built around real-world trends, the specific choice of module available to students from year to year may vary.
