The programme, which incorporates a flexible online learning resource, is delivered jointly by the Faculty of Arts and i-DAT (Institute of Digital Art and Technology, www.i-dat.org) a subject group in the Faculty of Technology.
  
  i-DAT is a creative playground for transdisciplinary practice at the interface between art, technology and science and provides a rich world-class research environment through its relationships with AZTEC (Art Science Technology) Research Consortium, which includes the Centre for Computer Music Research, the Planetary Collegium and the Nascent Art & Technology, Transtechnology and Art and Social Technologies research groups. From within this unique context, but from the perspective provided by the Research in the arts and humanities and the masters thesis in the Faculty of Arts" modules, students can develop new insights into the opportunities offered by transdisiplinary practices.
