The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced lecturer to join our teaching team at the UAL Creative Computing Institute.

As Senior Lecturer in Creative Computing, you will be responsible for teaching, curriculum development, and on-going scholarship on the BSc Creative Computing course.

The BSc Creative Computing course is an exciting mix of computing and creative practice set in the context of a world-renowned creative university. Students learn to code, build apps, craft digital experiences, explore machine learning and more. Students acquire a contemporary set of applied computing skills covering the dominant coding languages and workflows that support innovation in the digital technology sector and creative practice. Building on these skills, and through creative practice, our students also develop their ability to innovate.
