The School of Digital Arts is an interdisciplinary school at MMU – a £35m investment into the workspaces, networks, teaching and research that will drive the next generation of creative content.

In the future, over 1,000 students per year, will study disciplines that span film, animation, UX design, photography, games design, AI and more, often working on live projects with industry partners, frequently collaborating with fellow students and researchers.
